[CONTINUED]

In fairness to hosting providers they are not the reason why your site is slow. These are the questions you need to consider.

1) What is the maximum online users on your site? -- increase the number of mysql connection allowed and RAM maybe too.
2) Do you have several modules from different developers? -- chances are one of them is slowing your site.
3) How many members you have? -- consider adding additional hard drive, maybe a SAS drive then put the dolphin scripts in there.
4) see more Homepage very slow? -- reduced the number of blocks, add .htacesss gzip to compress output, or users not logged in used splash page.

5) Running on Plesk Control Panel? -- try using Cpanel/WHM Instead.
6) Running on dedicated server / VPS just for Dolphin Script or just for your site? -- Try using PHP handler DSO its faster than PHPSuEXEC.
7) Running on 32Bit OS? -- Consider upgrading to 64bit it's much quicker but there are negligible draw back running 64bit not all scripts support it.


I have more I'll try to add them soon hopefully this would help for the meantime.
