Things are looking better right now. I am up late patching up any remaining issues I can find.

This came down to a MS service pack on our db that slowed things to a crawl. I told the staff at our host and microsoft it was the service pack. Nobody believed me. After a day they finally caved and went ahead and rolled back and I was right. It was the service pack after all. They were all in disbelief and said they have 1000''s of installs that never had this issue. Until now...
