As the chief programmer of the forums, I have a set of times printed out at the bottom of every page that times how quickly a page was processed so that I know how the queries are running and where our slow spots are on each page. I can tell you now that there are 914 people online and this page processed in 0.5264 seconds. I'd say that's not bad. It loaded in the blink of an eye over here. I haven't had any problems in speed except when we're running scripts on the database to fix things. Which isn't often. shrugs
