Not understanding any of this only that the site is unbearably slow on both T1 and a cable modem, would it help if we all set our preferences to only 20 messages at a time instead of 100?

Not noticable enough... I mean, threads used to be straight up 2000 on the Christian Chronicles and those long running types so moving everyone from 100 to 50 wont make a substantial difference.

It made a noticable difference to me. I changed my preferences to show 20 posts at a time and it's moving much faster. I'm keeping it this way until the problem is resolved. Otherwise, those long page loads put too much drag on the system and I was timing out even on a cable modem. I notice posting a reply is still slow, though.
