[support] D6 site very slow

[Mukesh Agarwal]

Try taking a look at YSlow parameters and see what is holding up from
Drupal's front. Also, with top command you can also identify the memory and
CPU being used by an individual apache process and if that is huge, you
might just need to optimize your apache settings a little. If you use devel
module, you can identify the queries that are running slow and can act
accordingly. You can also enable slow query log in your mysql settings and
turn it on for a while to understand the slow queries..

I would also suggest to switch on CSS optimization..
