[consulting] Sluggishness Concern

[Brian Vuyk]

On the sites I handle, I haven't noticed any difference between D4, D5 & 
D6 in terms of site speed. I run all my sites on Mosso.

Have you tried running your client's sites on dedicated Drupal hosts? 
AFAIK, these companies tweak their server setups to be everything Drupal 
wants and more - perhaps that might take care of the sluggishness you 
are experiencing.
