Much of the recent slowness was because I never bothered to read the instructions to the Textpattern updates. Whoops!
Even though they were good for navigating the site, I also removed three old and inefficient plugins. When my new computer comes (soon!) I will update or replace them.

Did I post twice by accident, or on purpose? You’ll never know.

Gah. It posts twice when you post once, and once when you post twice. Off with Greg’s head!

And are you running the new “TrollFeeder 1.4.3.b” plugin over here? “Now with three times the troll feeding power! Why post once when you can post THREE TIMES?!”

WTF? Are things working again, finally?

Ah. No.
FYI, the verdict is that I probably need to move the database to another machine. I have been putting it off, but I hope to get to it by the weekend.
