CloudatCost Connection Slow
- 
 100Mb (not MB) connection speed won't matter. It is unlikely that you are getting above 5Mb/s as web pages just aren't big enough to speed up much more than that. 
- 
 Likely it is MySQL processing speed. What is the output of "free -m"?

 Looks like MySQL can't load completely into memory. What do the last few lines of SAR look like?

- 
 Yes, just sar.

 Didn't have data collection enabled. I've gone ahead and enabled it. I'll let you know. 
- 
 Also, I wouldn't think my MySQL databases were that big. When I do the dump of my biggest database, it's barely over 200MB... 
- 
 That's a lot to have loaded into memory when you only have 1GB total, though.

 Memory usage IS fine, but that doesn't mean that MySQL is running totally in memory. You are mixing concepts.

 @thanksajdotcom said: Is there a way to force it? No, it will detect if there is enough memory available and use it if possible.

 The coupon here (http://mangolassi.it/topic/4295/cloudatcost-50-off-upgrades-limited-qty/3) still works. Upgrading to a Dev3 for my web server from a Dev2. 
- 
 My guess is that you will see a bit of an increase. You had stuff going out to swap to keep your cache fresh. It's enough but far from fully tuned. 
- 
 Of course the extra core won't hurt either. Now Apache and MySQL aren't going to fight for context.

 Give it a few minutes and see what "free -m" has to say now.

 Yeah, still waiting for the extra RAM to kick in. This is what I had about 90 seconds ago. root@thanksaj-server-cac:~# free -m total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 993 375 618 52 17 178 -/+ buffers/cache: 178 815 Swap: 953 0 953 root@thanksaj-server-cac:~# grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo MemTotal: 1017732 kB
