Hi all! Okay, so I believe (and never before have I so hoped I'm right!) that I've had a breakthrough with the server config. For the first time, our database servers seems to actually be using a significant part of it's muscle.
So tell me in comments here: is the site fast for you? Or does it still leave something to be desired (and even if so, is it better than before?)

It does seem to be a bit faster than normal this evening (i.e. now).
