Not sure if you have missed it, but many of the speed issues are related to a problem with the current release of PHP, the backbone of the technology that drives the operation of the board. Over the weekend we upgraded the board software to the latest possible version to take advantage of new optimization features, and we restored the ability to search to see if performance would be improved enough to support searching again.
We know full well that the board is still not performing as well as you (and we) would like. Right now we are just waiting for the developers of PHP to release a version that fixes the current problem.
Thanks,
John

Pulling up threads was very slow this morning and even now.

Now, it just takes longer than it should... on the order of 30-60 seconds per thread.
Hopefully these comments help nail the issue down further... I'm getting tired of posting them, and think many people have given up hope of a resolution.
