Same old site, Lightning fast
Oct 30, 2012
Finally got the time to migrate my site from crappy shared hosting to AWS,
It’s now on Amazon Linux (CentOS) with basic AMP (mod_php) stack — php php-mysql mysql-server — I’m no nginx guru and mod_fcgid gives me headache…
so I just got APC caching — php-pecl-apc — which is already much faster than file based caching — and of course with W3 Total Cache 
and mod_pagespeed binary from google helps a little as well
Site speed should be much faster now, and I haven’t even looked at this long list yet
