In any case, and for whatever reason, the performance of the site hasn't been acceptable, even after the upgrades.
I've been watching the server loads closely since the upgrades and noticed on major anomaly on one of the servers since the upgrade, and traced that anomaly to the fact that the server was a very old one that we weren't supposed to have after the upgrade. Since Monday this server has also been replaced with one of the higher performance servers.
I'm still waiting to see how we do on Monday before I consider things to be "stable", but I'm hopeful that after that correction things will be a lot better.
Thanks for the input though, without people letting me know, it's hard to tell what effect the changes I've made have had.
