Why is the site so slow?

Of all the theatre and related sites, this is the slowest. Of course it gets huge usage and there is a lot of material on the site, but it is one of the slowest sites around. This somewhat undermines the service. Perhaps your technical advisors could have a look. Jim

Slow sites...

Yes, I know the site is slower than many:

:-)

As others have pointed out, we're doing about the best we can given the infrastructure we're running on and the traffic we receive.

The complexity and size of the site only has a marginal impact since I spent time optimising things last year. That really only leaves a server upgrade for improving performance....

mmm... that would be nice. But expensive. 

Maybe it's time to bite the bullet? 

Cheers

PS And a year after the upgrade, our coprophiliac mate Brad just can't drag himself away!
