Camu,
Thanks for the quick response. You can take the server not being powerful enough off the list. I have a dedicated cluster of quad processor machines with tons of ram. It can handle the load no problem. There are several sites more active than this one and I rarely see a blip on resource usage.
The MySQL version being used is 5.0.32.
I am ok with reconfiguring WP SlimStat after uninstalling it as long as I do not lose any data that currently exists. Doesn’t an upgrade basically do this though?
