<font color="Red">Ok so here is the information for those of you experiencing slow load times, it is recommended that all users make these changes.</font>
Add a new MySQL database to your domain. Open the database in phpmyadmin or similar and import the db.sql file to install the database tables the same as before but once you have done that you need to select 'operations' from the top menu and change the storage engine to InnoDB, then click Go. Then enter the new DB details into translate.php and re-upload that file.
InnoDB seems to handle the multiple read/write requests without issue whereas MyISAM had issues with tables locking and thus locking read/write access under load which caused huge bottlenecks on larger/busier sites.
We tested this on a few huge 100k thread sites without issue.
Thanks, enjoy the traffic.
Dave.
