Site Speed Optimizations
I noticed as the DB grew that the site was performing quite a bit worse and MySQL load getting fairly high on the server. I went ahead and looked through the mysql slow logs to find some of the queries that were slow and and were examining a huge number of rows (sometimes upwards of a million) and added several indexes to several columns in several tables.
From my testing it looks like this sped up the site significantly. Let me know if you guys noticed the improvement by commenting.
