What hacks have you made to showthread.php, the global scape, and are there any cron scripts running at certain times? What else is on this server?

I have had a look at the 'explain' under debug mode...there seems to be a common thing in the part about parseing posts. That number is usually high...none of the queires being executed are above 0.7 usually, most are way way under it.

From memory - ibproarcade (crowns in postbit), AWS warning system, Activity, Private Threads...those ones affect showthread.php directly (or through functions_showthread.php).

Globally: Statistics, Hidden Posts notification in navbar, maybe one or 2 others.

As for what else is on the server, it's shared hosting, so it could well be anything.
