    We think we figured out what was causing it.
    It is being fixed now, so hopefully the lag will be gone again.
    Sorry for the issues over the past few days.

    It actually should be running a lot better. The issue we found was huge, but because there was lag it made us look at a lot of things. The database is now running a ton better, and that should overall increase performance for everything. In addition, I did some heap optimization as well as TCP stack optimization on the box.

    Thanks! We appreciate your hard work and some of us understand that issues can't immediately be fixed. If you don't mind me asking, what was the database issue causing all the lag?

    A missing index causing a ton of full table scans. A full table scan isn't normally a bad thing, but you guys have a very stats intensive website. It was processing like 450,000 rows a second. This is down to almost zero now. Basically, the database would spike during heavy usage and begin impacting the actual box. Databases are meant to take some heavy load if setup properly. However, you have to make sure all your queries are optimized. Things are fixed now and even very heavy web load won't have any effect on the server.
