I started using this WP Supercache that allows your site to create html copy of your site and serve it up instead of running a lot of processes. It makes it so thar the first time someone views a page it creates a copy of it and serves that up instead. So far it is working great. I had to mod the Htaccess file a bit for it to work. but everything is flawless now. Check it out if you got a minute.
