CPU usage...

Locust, I think you'd better look at upgrading the processor on this server.  All this traffic is bogging it down during the busy times.

I know... I have to pour water on the server every day just to keep it cooled off

From what I understand, our servers are constantly being upgraded and maintained by top level engineers. Nevertheless, due to the extreme load of traffic to this forum they just can't stay on top of it all, which results in 99.999% of posts being lost. Hopefully the addition of our  17th mega-data center will begin to put a dent in to the problem. Google and other top sites have been experiencing extreme slow downs due to the relative internet load here, and even military and other government facilities have been put on yellow alert because of their communication systems being so severely curtailed. Global government intervention / assistance seems likely to happen soon to aliviate this issue. As it is the UN has been ramping up pressure on all participating nations to act on this issue sooner than later.
