Folks--
> I'll be on to monitor.
I just started to poke around a bit and found the site to be *very* slow. Since we are technical folks and "very" is a near meaningless form of measurement, this is what I have found. Average page lot time seemed to be about five seconds, unless the link went to an external site or 404'd ( http://www-dev.cluedenver.org is very responsive ). To further quantify what I witnessed I went to a few speed testing sites and have summarized their finding below. I hate to call the 4.4 second response time a fluke... but it really seems to be. Personally I feel any page with over a two second response time is too slow. Perhaps drupal is not the right choice for CLUE, has any looked into Wordpress, Typo3, etc?
This is what I've found providing "http://cluedenver.redmop.com/" as the URL:
Testing site Load Time ( seconds )
http://www.selfseo.com/website_speed_test.php 6.880
http://www.webpagetest.org 6.525
http://www.linkvendor.com/seo-tools/speedtester.html 4.400
http://tools.pingdom.com 8.900

Finally, here is my run with Apache Bench ( ab ).
