3 meg cable here and it virtually stopped my system.
It's not the software. It's the server itself. Not enough bandwidth or equipment to handle this load of SMF. Takes huge amounts of bandwidth and hardware to pull this much information with this format, .jpg's, icons -- everything.
In the past, there have been similar issues at BattleClinic when the database gets loadeed up.
I ain't trying to knock the effort here, which is a good thing. But the tons of ancient history will never load us on this system with this bandwidth and SMF.
