It's not as easy as it seems. We aren't just buying one or two more servers we are setting up many new server cages, swapping out older slower hardware, doubling our bandwidth, and improving code in places that will improve load speeds.
My point is this can't all be done overnight. Well yes if we want to turn everything off for a night. Instead we are opting to make careful planned out changes that require 5 minutes or less of downtime. (In many cases no down time at all.)
It's not an easy task for our programmers and system administrators. Since our merger with StreamRay, Lars has stepped in to help Andrew (our founder and CEO) run our Marketing and Affiliates departments. This has freed Andrew's time to work with our programmers and ease the work load off of our CTO who has now personally devoted 100% of his time to site speed improvements.
