Just move to an SSD server and it's significantly faster.
I monitor load on my severs and all of a sudden load went through the roof. Page response was very slow. But nothing is going on! Whats up with that!
As I write this, load is coming down. I wish VPSs were more sandboxed as far as hardware resources go. Load on other VPSs should not affect my VPS that is sitting idle. But I guess there's only so much you can sandbox on common hardware. Maybe I see a dedicated server in my future..
