Once it has been fired up, does everything zip along "fast enough"?
If the initialization is the only issue, why not just throw a bit of eye candy at them while it's initializing? You'd be amazed at how impressed people are with stuff that doesn't really even do stuff. :) Toss a cool graphic and an "initializing application" animated progress bar deal in there, until things are cooking. I bet they'd be more impressed by that, than if nothing happened and the app loaded in half the time. :)p If it's response times in general tho... ouch. Adam (I think) just made a good point on cf-talk about the extinction of shared hosting, and it seems like some sound logic. VPS type deals are so freaking cheap these days (and just getting cheaper)... why share? Think of all the time you're spending to code around all the limitations. If your product is going to be 'round for longer than a couple years, I'd think more about good code and less about poor environments. But I know nothing about what you do, and don't sell anything myself-- so take that advice with a grain of salt. :) :Denny -- The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death.
