Slow

I just figured out why my blog has been brutally slow since I switched it over to Dreamhost: NFS. Individual flat files on disk don't scale when a page load is having to scramble over them on an NFS mount.

It also doesn't help that the shared host has a load average above 17 most of the time… right now, the CPU utilization on the box is about 75%. Maybe I should switch back to dedicated hosting!
