[Cialug] Wordpress Performance

[lister at kulish.com]

Honestly, only a single WP site out of 6 is slow.

My mediaserver and webmail behave to expectations as do the other WP 
sites.
Traffic varies due to link back, specially on the cars site.  It's 
linked all over the place.

The server is assigned 2cpu, 2GB ram currently.
