I have friends who have wp 2.2 and do not host with globat and their blogs take anywhere from one second up to 5 seconds to connect and load. I asked globat to upgrade their one-click blog install wp because it’s an old version and doesn’t support a lot of the latest plug-ins that I would like to use…they said no. One of my friends who does host with globat has this older version of wp and it does load faster than mine (wp 2.2). I manually installed wp2.2 files because i didn’t want to use their older version. My wp data base is on my globat account. I think what the problem may be is that globat uses different servers for different functions (ie: storage server, database server, email server) none are on the same server. I had globat reset the db server i’m on and it worked good for a day, then back to long load times. I recently set up a globat account for my sister and started building a small wp2.2 business site for her and it takes up to 17 seconds to load pages sometimes that are purely text. I’ve been a globat customer for like 4 months and everything else is cool but wp. I am curious how cms driven sites hosted with globat perform? I’d say talk to globat and if there’s no resolution…find a different host because the wait will drive people away and just get worse.
