My drupal 6 sites are new sites, so I can't compare them to Drupal 5 sites in terms of speed.<br><br>I'm not saying Drupal 6 is slower, only that the Drupal 6 sites I've set up have been slow, in part because I'm depending on modules a lot more now, where in the past I used to do a lot more customization. <br>
<br>On one site, the devel module shows about 25mb of php per page load -- when logged in as admin. On another host, when I turned dev on I got the white screen of death for using up too much memory, so I had to disable devel thought the database. <br>
<br>I'd be surprised to hear that no one is having these sluggishness problems. I really have to consider new hosts altogether. <br><br>Any names of shared hosting companies people are very pleased with would be great. <br>

Same here. When upgrading sites from D5 to D6 with the same set of modules, on the same VPS, there was no performance difference.<br><br>You have to quantify the problem before solutions can be recommended.<br><br>Have you checked devel and the performance module included in it to see if it is the database or the PHP part that is slow?<br>
