The system seems slow, or slower than I would expect. Can you be more specific? What's slow?

Hitting the site I am hosting from outside seems slow. I have been in touch with Comcast and they say there are no issue. Sometimes simple tasks in Server Admin are slow to accomplish. Starting/Stopping services, etc. Using built in Apache, MySQL, Firewall. The site is created with some HTML5, PHP, MySQL, CSS, JS From my experience my CentOS boxes have been significantly faster with less specs even, although a lot of RAM in the boxes. I am all Apple except for servers usually. I have a box running CentOS 5.4, Pentium-D with 8gb of RAM and it is faster with other sites I host that receive a lot more traffic and another video site i host for a friend.

  Hah, you're going to have to learn to break that down a little more. What is the speed of the average request? How much of that is network delay? How much of it is the server taking to respond? PHP/MySQL don't seem like the optimal tools for serving video...

    Let me time some things and give more exact answers. I realize I am being vague! PHP and MySQL I use because I am comfortable with them. If you have suggestions, I am happy being uncomfortable to learn something new..

      Sorry, I didn't mean that as a criticism. I wrote my first web apps in PHP/MySQL, as well. If you're serving video, you should probably use YouTube or the like. Try to figure out "the life of a query": when you load a page in the browser, what happens? More to-the-point, how long does each step take? (if you want specific advice how to go about this, feel free to ping me - my e-mail's in my profile)

        OK, Thanks for the offer. I will e-mail you privately. I will explain plan my SQL and get a feel then time it in a browser when called from a PHP page and then again when I call it in the ajax box I am using... I appreciate your thoughts.
