About 3.5 years ago, I installed MLF without any idea of the success that would result. We now have over 3,000 users and around 235,000 postings. We get 25,000 unique visitors per month and still climbing.

This is all great and people love the forum for the most part. However, it's on a VPS with some pretty great specs but the forum uses a LOT of resources. I'm finding that I have to optimize the database daily and reboot every few days to keep it running halfway decent.

So, with that said, does anyone have any advice in terms of performance?
