Both at 88. Maybe that's a good sign. Chinese believe that 8 is a lucky number. Of course, they also told me the year of the rabbit was going to be a lucky year, and 2/3 of the way into it I'm still not seeing the luck.
I'm using 1.5.23 at the moment. I've been meaning to install a copy of the 1.7 version, remove all of the K2 stuff, and see what that does, since 1.7 has most of the same features. Maybe that will be more efficient. I'll have to check out this extension you mentioned. Thanks, by the way. You are a wealth of knowledge on this stuff. I'm just trying to avoid site-wide caching if I can get away with it because I have news coming in constantly all day from a number of sources, but if I can cache the css, js and certain modules, I think that would be a big help. I tried using IceSpeed to cache the css, but ended up with some funky results so I decided not to use it.
