Any site that receives billions and billions of unique hits an hour is going to have performance issues. Having that much traffic is tough to manage. Lately this site has been loading slowly for me. Even with wp-cache and MySQL cache, its lagging. I am beginning to think this server has hit its peak. The server I have over at MediaTemple is “blazing” fast. Granted it’s currently receiving 10 times less traffic, but it is handling the current load perfectly. So I am going to move WDP over to that box and see what happens.

Once upon a time this took 48 - 72 hours and was a major headache. I can now move the site with 0 downtime and the entire process will take less than 30 minutes. I’m like a magician withouth a creepy blank stare and ridonkulously hot girlfriend.
