I just completed a big update of the PHP code that the page uses.
As noted by our host, we were performing an excessive amount of SQL queries to the server, and they complained about it...

They basically said to reduce the load, or start thinking of getting a private server (which is at least $60 a month).
Since the site is not big enough (yet) to justify a private server, I had to update the code and try to streamline the processes and the number of mySQL queries.

After a few days of work, I've created our own cache system for the queries, that will improve the performance of the site and reduce the load on the mySQL server.
Since the change involves a lot of code modifications, I want to ask any user who experiences any unstable performance to email me, so I can make sure that everything is working as it should.

The only drawback that the new cache has, is that some of the stats in the site, will take 15 min to refresh. User comments, image ratings and favorites are still automatic updates, so the impact should be minimal.

I hope you enjoy the new system. ^^
