The forum seems to be ok, but when I tried to go back to my main page, it loaded part of the page over and over and over...until I linked elsewhere. Also, some database pages just come up blank (white). Source-view shows a few lines and no more.
My fault. I put some code on the server to find out which pages are slowing things down (btw, whoever waited through the 26-minute anime.php search, I have one thing to say: You have NO life, and I mean none) and it seems to have broken Internet Explorer support.

Oops. D'oh! It appears that the PHP docs lie (shutdown functions can produce output, oops) and when they do --- especially when you have output compression turned on --- things break. It appears the Mozilla manages to ignore junk tacked onto the end of compressed output, while IE just displays a blank page.

Anyway, even with the site half-broken last night, all the profiling has produced useful data. Looking at it now, expect more speedups soon. Hopefully ones that won't break IE. :evil:
