Page loading has never been the faster here for me (I think they must bandwidth throttle the server), but it's not the "loading" of the pages, its the "connecting". Click a link, wait...wait...wait...wait... page finally connects and loads.

Right now, the online thing says there are 788 users. Pages are connecting at a reasonable and decent rate. Earlier it was over 1500 and pages took forever to connect or timed out. This is a common pattern I see here, so clearly the number of people logged in has a major impact. Whether that's because of the mysql or what I can't say because I don't know anything about that. Still, it does seem that some kind of upper limit has been reached.

But no Sipapu...its definitely not because of general internet traffic. Rederosity will frequently be dogging it while every other site is flying right along. In fact, I've got in the habit of browsing other sites in other windows while I wait for Renderosity pages to do something.
