I'm an Admin of a big board with close to 5 million posts, and about 1400 members online a day. The forum is hosted on a VPS that was able to fit our needs until recently, and while we are making the shift to a dedicated server, it won't get done for another week, and I'm looking for quick things I can do through the Admin CP that may alleviate the server load. Like clockwork during peak hours, the server's load is anywhere from 10-19, and is unusable during those times.

We disabled VBSEO to try and alleviate server load, followed the instructions on multiple 'how to reduce server load' threads, and use VB Optimise, but it's only helped things temporarily.

We've recently disabled the ability for guests to view the forum, and will also be temporarily closing a few of the non vital forums on the board.

Any proven suggestions to temporarily alleviate our server issues until we can make the switch will be greatly appreciated.
