Dan,

Have you posted a server optimization request over at vBulletin.com? I suggest that you have them take a look (mainly eva2000). Once you get the server running smoothly, we'll do our magic here with httpd.conf and other optimizations specific to vBSEO.

had done , nothing major, just the usual change this number junk.

I dont know if i should laugh or cry but i found

// ****** MASTER DATABASE PERSISTENT CONNECTIONS ******
// This option allows you to turn persistent connections to MySQL on or off.
// The difference in performance is negligible for all but the largest boards.
// If you are unsure what this should be, leave it off. (0 = off; 1 = on)
$config['MasterServer']['usepconnect'] = 1;

in config, maybe this was effecting it? Only time will tell whilst i upgrade.
