I am running a traffic exchange site and have just moved to a dedicated

Server is a P4 1.8G with 1024MB RAM

Pages seem to be loading slower than the previous virtual server account but
looking at top shows idle% to stay above 80

The mysql backend is located off the server and has not changed in any way
when the web server changed.


Is it possible that the old apache install had additional modules loaded to compress the output? I think its called mod_gzip in 1.3. I'm more familiar with apache 2. That would make pages load "faster" in the sense that less bandwith is required by the client and server. It would use more cpu and may not scale as well in terms of total responses.

Also, you said the mysql database hasn't changed and that you were on a virtual server. Was the mysql database on the virtual server? There might be more latency to your database. Are you using a compressed or uncompressed mysql protocol?
