I recently upgraded my forum to 7.5 and split it into two halves. The halves are here -

keet forum -
http://www.wineintro.com/forum/

wine forum -
http://www.wineintro.com/wineforum/

They're on the same server, just in different directories.

For some reason now when you first go to the keet forum it is REALLY slow to draw and sometimes times out. The wine forum is always fast, no problem.

In both cases I have completely deleted the now unnecessary forums and posts, so both are smaller than before. I have optimized the forum and post table on both systems, so that they are running cleanly with their new data. That keet forum should be faster than before, not slower.

Once you get INTO the keet forum it's fast to move around in it - it's just that initial first draw of the main page that really is slow.

Any ideas?

Just to clarify it seems to be slow when you go to this URL -
