The odd thing is that I have only a handful of full members with access to all videos/photos/articles but a lot of free ones with very limited access. My hosting company (Eurovps) keep suggesting even more powerful upgrades...1st a Xen server...then ngix (allegedly 400-600 concurrent user capability)...the latest is installing Varnish (allegedly 10,000 concurrent user capability!) Given that I have about 400-600 visitors in 24hrs never mind concurrent, it looks like they are just throwing hardware/software at it to reduce the symptoms without looking for the cause. They are installing a 12gb RAM upgrade on a test basis.

I'm wondering if Wordpress is being slowed down due to inefficient plugins or poorly optimised server. I am being increasingly drawn to a hosted solution like PornCMS. I have heard good things about it and having one butt to kick is always attractive.
