I'm on a DreamHost shared server, and someone's been a little bit of an SQL hog and has been clogging up our SQL server.  It hasn't been severe enough to me to complain, and it seems to be calming down.

Yeah, I'm fighting a really uphill battle against minimal system resources.  I appears that downloads were served through Drupal, which allowed for access checking.  However, I don't have anything I need to hide, so I've removed that part so now they're served through Apache, which shouldn't drop the connection.

Yeah, I'm doing all I can to solve the server problem.  Someone else on my server cluster, or a group of others on my cluster, are really undergoing some terrific traffic.  I'm reading SQL queries on tables of less than 5 rows at 300+ ms, and page process times in excess of 1.7 seconds.

It does go down around 9:00 PST, so if it still won't work I'd try back then.

Hopefully DreamHost will flag my cluster for some rebalancing, since it is quite significant.  There's nothing I can do at this point outside of enabling as much caching as I can and hoping for the best.  It's already running as FastCGI and as an Apache Dispatch (which is supposed to give it more memory allowance from the DreamHost process killer - if not it'll have zero net effect).  There really isn't much I can do.
