That's quite a high load on your server. Running anything differently (or, have you made any drastic changes)?
No, its most likely the "Live Thread" plugin eating away the server due to the competition were hosting about posting to 1 million.
Live topic was causing teenforumz very high loads, we removed it and now it has settled down very well
so...is that different than the "load times" in the vb admincp? cuz i've` seen mine get CRAZY high...like over 100.00 . . .
That is not normal - those are ridiculously strenuous amounts. You're located on a shared hosting account, I take it?
Those are fairly high load averages. I can't say that I'm surprised (considering the web host)... and I'm sure that you've noticed a decrease in overall performance. Making the move to that VPS soon would be beneficial!
u got that right.... i'll be moving my toyota forum along with opening my newish site in like late nov this year. it'll be a good day when this happens!
