So the move to SSDnodes hasnt been as successful as I would have liked. I'm convinced that the VPS that I've got is on a host that is overcommitted, and as a result its been affecting the performance of clrghouz.

I moved clrghouz over last weekend and have been logging support tickets because of the sluggish performance of the VPS. I've noticed some packets, which would take 2s to build on the old server, have sometimes been taking over 2mins to build on the new server. Some of you may have noticed timeouts as a result.

I've also noticed a few times that when I check back on the host, that clrghouz has been killed, the server has been rebooted, or the load average >150. The logs show that the host is stealing back memory, even though I've only been using about 8G of my 64...

So I'm not happy, and I'm moving clrghouz back to my server at home. It's running on a CM5 now, and while it is slow, it is running better than on the SSDnode host. :(

As an upside, its given me some areas to look at to improve the query performance, so I'll be focusing on that over the next few days to improve it's performance. Bear with me, but hopefully mail will be flowing uninterrupted soon. :)
