LC Server on DreamHost?

Agreed. A four-fold increase in script processing time seems about 
average for the tests I've seen comparing 6.7 and 7.0; much beyond that 
seems like something with the host.

Perhaps drop a note to DH Support to see if perhaps they've consolidated 
users or made any other changes that might increase load on the machine?

Consistent with my tests - Malte started a benchmarking project, which 
has been moving along nicely in its new home in the forums.

The engine team is reviewing test scripts posted there, esp. those that 
can be run with LC Server.

The reason for focusing on Server right now is two-fold:

1. It isolates rendering speed from other processing; they have a couple 
different areas they're working on rendering speed, so tests that 
isolate other processing are especially helpful to them right now.

2. It's really easy for them to run diagnostics from the command line.

Here's my contribution to Malte's testing project:
