Let's not throw out the baby with the bath.
I just "groomed" the entire database on this box and that went very fast indeed. Plus I got none of those "The table is usable but ought to be fixed" warnings. Confirmed that it's not a bad little box, and we've ruled out another source of problems.
I've told apache to stop throwing away a child process after every 100 hits; that's a holdover from older versions on a different architecture, and a bit of overhead you don't need.
If we see spotty performance tomorrow I'll turn on monitoring from several different directions and record server performance; if it's the network, you'll have some numbers to use to flog your ISP. Worth giving them a chance to make it right before you cut and run. (And if it DOES come to that, the world is full of hungry service providers.)
