Any time I get even a small spike MySQL burps and my site goes down, which I think is why I can't ever get above 10k impressions/day for all these years now. I finally decided it was time to do some serious investigation into the problem and MySQL is obviously the bottleneck, and MT seems to be the only host that's figured this out so far. The truth is that bandwidth is no longer the issue anymore! It's our stupid dependence on MySQL, which I avoided for so many years but now I'm depending on it like everyone else, like coffee. I'm curious to know how many of these units I'd use in a month, but for $20 it's worth a try. What I also like is MT's advertised "MySQL GridContainers" option, sounds like you can pay for even more MySQL performance if that's what you need. If this works I will kick myself for not finding it sooner. I think I’m about to switch to MT because of this service.
