I have a 1.54Mbps cable connection and an 850MHz CPU (effectively removing all other bottlenecks) and the site definitely seems more responsive. After the screen refreshes there's almost no delay before showing the page. Before you would have to wait a bit as the browser reported "Contacting host..." or "Loading..." although it's possible that was due to the remote banner ads and not necessarily the server.

At any rate... I don't know what will happen in the future, as the server's RAM fills up and more users start hitting the site, but for now: Nice work! {g}
