I was having some speed problems with my website for the past few weeks, and I was thinking about switching from DreamHost to something like BlueHost.  I even left a comment on somebody's website when I noticed how much faster his site was than mine.  He said he was with BlueHost and he uses a really stripped-down theme.  My theme is pretty simple, so I knew it had to be a problem with my server.  Pages were taking a long time to load, and even posting new entries was taking forever.  I tried all the normal tricks like disabling sending trackbacks and pinging update services, but nothing worked.  But then yesterday, things suddenly went back to normal.  Everything's fast again.  I have no idea what the problem was. #technology
