Yeah, I would have thought of that, tilly.. :) But, only because something like that just happened to me too! Cheap 10/100 autosensing hub + autonegotiating 10/100 switch on a 10 MB/s network = Collision Fest 2002.

Regarding the lag -- I am certain that page size is NOT the issue. It's the generation of the page that's the issue. The site is completely dynamic. The site works great for me at night (EST), but chunks at other times -- generally when there are lots of monks active. So, there's a bound somewhere -- most directly caused either by hardware or code.

The admins & coding monkeys know that there's a scalability problem. They have the logs, the access, and the knowledge -- They'll fix it. I have faith in that. (joealba trails off into a perlmonks "I have a dream..." speech preaching about a faster site)

I'm sure they know that any one of the monks would be glad to donate their time to review code for bottlenecks, myself included.
