Thanks very much Charles and Gizmo, I have installed PHP on my server, and enabled the accelerator.

I'm guessing this is really the only thing one can do to address performance issues? The thread size, forum size, etc are not (?) big items related to performance?

I guess I am more than a bit worried - what happens when I run out of gas with the accelerated boards - It will be nice to save $$ on bandwidth for a while (I pay a premium for everything over 20GB - and that doesn't even last me a week), but if my stuff continues on the path it has been on for the past 30 months.. ?? oh no?

Thanks again..
Bob
