> Anything else you'd like to know? That was certainly fascinating, but why the particular fascination with site stats for a web site that only has significant traffic for 72 hours out of the year? I'm guessing you must be volunteering your time. You'd have saved many, many hours of work by simply moving to a dedicated server a couple of days prior to being swamped. There are many situations where no amount of hardware will overcome software design problems, but by the same token, on badly underspec'd hardware you'll never achieve satisfactory performance levels no matter how much time and effort you put into optimizing the software. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - RUWebby http://www.ruwebby.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:189221 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
