You'll first have to give some details on what kind of server you're running and what problems you encounter.

Without knowing anything it'll be hard to help you or tell who may be able to help you.

Yeah, just "it's slow" isn't really enough. Here's a list of questions you should answer to give us an idea of where to start.

1. What OS is it running?
2. Give us a basic overview of the hardware it's running on, CPU, RAM, HDs, etc.
3. What major software packages is it running?
4. When you say it's running slowly, *what* is running slowly? If it's primarily a webserver, is it serving pages slowly, or is SSH being slow?

If you let us know what you're dealing with in a bit of detail, I'm sure we can point you in the right direction.

maybe your log files are backing up? that puts a big dent in performance

make sure scripts put their load on mysql.. NOT php... php fucking sux for performance.

Who said anything about PHP, or logs for that matter? ;)

Got any more information for us, budsbabes?

Thanks
