yes, perhaps it's just the nature of "over-shared" mysql servers… and it
seems to change with the weather. Lately Dreamhost has been incredibly slow
with my Wordpress installations - and I wonder if mySQL is the culprit.

sometimes I wonder if comcast or other citizen internet connections are
trolled for certain port numbers and 'throttle' to keep file sharing down -
I don't trust Comcast to not do stuff like that...
