I'm running a virtual private server and according to my host, utilization all the way around is very low. Upgrading to a dedicated server supposedly isn't going to buy me anything.

I like the hacks that I have, but it seems something(s) gotta go. I just took one rss javascript feed out of the left-hand column, but it looks like more's gotta go. Bummer.

I'm not sure what the server load numbers really mean.

I'm currently on 3.6.4 waiting for 3.7 gold to upgrade.

I thought the stats would show more queries based on my hacks, so now I'm not sure how to tune.

Those loads are high. Try disabling like 5 hacks at a time and see if you can narrow it down to a certain hack. Or turn off all plugins by editing config.php and see if load times stay the same. If so, you either have too many users for the server or vB isn't the problem...
