Hey I have two questions:

1, How do I roughly work out how much CPU or memory I am using on my account? I want to have a decent amount of notice before I need to upgrade to a dedicated server. I am fully willing to do this, but I remember in the past we had an indication of how much bandwidth we were allowed before needing to upgrade, which was great from a users point of view. Now I know bandwidth is unlimited, but tracking CPU usage to a novice is tough, an idea would be appreciated.

I run a phpbb forum and a mediawiki. The forum is still small (40 Users), it has a reasonable amount of small graphical content for its size but few users yet, and the wiki is quite new. There are a couple of things such as being able to trade forum points, upload wiki content, and a weekly point lottery, but nothing else in the way of extra processes.

2, How do I tweak performance on my end with a phpbb forum and a php wiki, to make it smoother. Are there any expert tips I might be missing?

I've edited my own php.ini yesterday, in light of some choppy performance (half a dozen downtimes, and pages half loading being reported) to see if I can do anything on my end. First I put in a limit to php uploads being 1 Meg. in case this might help. I'd like to limit this to half a meg but I don't yet know the syntax, and I don't know if it will effect the php forum itself if I do. Do any of you have any ideas about what I can do to make things run faster, or give me a lighter CPU load going forward?

This is in no way a criticism of Lunarpages generally, I am a repeat customer so I think the world of the host. I realise every host has good days and bad days, yesterday was a bad day overall. Apart from that I have been very impressed, and still will recommend you to any interested parties.
