Put vBulletin in HTML Instead of PHP?

Have you checked the vB error logs? Sometimes they can clue you into some problem that is occurring frequently which slows down the site.

Also, have you optimized the database at all? The more activity on a board, the more overhead gets generated for the database tables - the more overhead, the longer it takes to query from a table. I try to optimize the tables at least once per week.

Finally, large user databases can slow down a lot of the CRON jobs that run every hour. Run a user search in your AdminCP and delete all of the people who have 0 posts, and it should clear things up.

Hey, thanks for the response. You can go to wrestlingclique.com and see that their vBulletin board is using the .html formats. Not everything is in HTML format, but like the threads and member profiles, they are in HTML. Also, they have 10,000 users to our 11,000 and are still much faster.

I'll look into those errors logs and see if anything can be found.

Now when you say optimize the database, you mean optimizing the database through vBulletin with those Maintenance tools or actually optimizing it through the Server?
