this and making mention of dramatic improvements like this by going to a new
host. Does anybody have knowledge of what is causing these dramatic
improvements? More memory? More CPU? Presumably it’s
not an upload/download speed because most of my rendered pages are reasonably
small. I would be very interested in knowing what makes the difference so
I could make a sugar-coated request to my host (who is generously providing the
hosting for free). I know I downloaded a wamp server to my laptop and I’m
getting similar (20-30 second) page load speeds and my laptop is no Ferrari but
neither is it a Ford Escort (apologies to escort owners – I had a bad
experience with them).<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
