[support] CPU usage

[Daniel Carrera]

I once asked the web host to install the APC cache and my Drupal site 
stopped working entirely :-(  I can't afford to have the site go down at 
this time. This is the end of the school year, which is the most 
important time for us.

I'm really interested in that Boost module that Hans pointed out. I'm 
just trying to learn more about it right now.
