Yes, I'm replying to my own post. I seem to have prodded the correct person. Today the server was changed to having KeepAlive turned on with a 3 second timout. Page loads went from 3 minutes to 1.6 seconds. Webserver load is easily serving over 300 requests/second. Thank you Aleksey! -- Matt It's not what I know that counts.
