In reply to: high traffic crashing usmagazine.comOh and you may try using Bad Behavior and / or Akismet instead of Spam Karma.

This will not help much as it affects only during posting time.

This may moderately help but I would think the real problem is elsewhere.
I looked at your queries. By itself they don’t look much of an issue. However the cumulative effect may be killing you.
Use wp-cache 2 (linked above) and set cache time to at least 2 hours or more.
Also try to get query details from SQL server itself instead of any plugins.> I’ll search for an ISP that will stand by WordPress, but I imgaine I’ll have to find a new blogging solution that they’re willing to work with.
My ISP supports WordPress, even installs it for you. They worked with me on my server load issue and actually helped me to identify the errant query.

In reply to: high traffic crashing usmagazine.comI have recently faced a slowing down / hanging issue with WordPress wherein my Apache server was consuming massive amount of CPU. I too am on a Virtual Private Server and I use wp-cache 2 (recommended).
On analysing the SQL queries the problem was isolated and fixed. Today my site runs like a charm.
You can check out the article (linked above) for details.
Few other thoughts:
wp-cron is basically buggy (resulting in server overload). I have tested it in the past couple of days and have fixed it for my use. I haven’t got around to releasing my version yet or inform the author. You may want to switch over to using a cron job instead as you are on a VPS.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Theme Competition Thought…Just thinking…
> No one is going to sponsor something that no one but money charging designers benefit from.How about some “money charging designers” (makes it sound like an ugly phrase) sponsoring it (for their own good and making more “money”)?
> No one is going to take interest if they don’t get themes to use
At least they can get ideas from themes, even if they don’t get to copy-paste it. Personally I think that will be incentive enough for me. I kind of grow tired seeing tons of philanthropic, yet pointless themes without concerns for usability and harping only on coolness factor 🙂
My two cents…

In reply to: Importing from wordpress to wordpressWhy not download the database from the old installation and upload to your new database. You may have to run the update script.

In reply to: Is there a plugin that allows you to have a single text item?You can try my AdRotator plugin. There you can change the news item by uploading / modifying a text file.
Also you can randomly rotate between multiple news items.

In reply to: Question regarding permalink changesOnce again vkaryl summarizes the state of WordPress 2.0 with a succint summary of permalinks 🙂
I think permalinks with WP 2.0 has become harder than with 1.5.x.
It appears to me we are likely to see a series of patch releases like 1.5 codeline, following the premature birth of 2.0.

In reply to: How to create a new page after default posts surpassedIf you are using the default template then the required code is already there.
Otherwise you need to add the following at appropriate location in your template:
<div class=”navigation”>
<div class=”alignleft”><?php next_posts_link(‘« Previous Entries’) ?></div>
<div class=”alignright”><?php previous_posts_link(‘Next Entries »’) ?></div>
</div>
