Please also note fellas, and I'm not looking for sympathy, but I have, along with the moderators put in thousands of hours over the last ~18 years. Please bare with me. I do apologize for the inconvenience. I will get it resolved.
I have another server which I am working on deploying, but as some of you know, as the years pass, new OS, different hardware, various versions of PHP/MySQL and other software decide not to play nicely, so it's not as simple as just copying everything over to the new server and pressing go. Lots of debugging there to get everything working too. So, I am trying to fix things in the short term on the current server, because something got buggered up, but nothing changed by me, so debugging that, when the software is the same for other sites that are working, is not proving easy.
I am trying...Nothing has been more important to me over the years than to keep you all connected. I'm sorry.

Brent,
The IT guy I’d pm’d a name/number on a couple months back on the prior IT issue is still available (locally) and at the ready if you’d like to consider using him at some point. He had explained to me early into that prior site issue what he thought was going on (with PHP/Sql). It appears that ended up being what you found over time with others.
In a 30 second conversation with him today I advised him of the current issue. He believes the current slowness issue may well be permission or configuration issues. It sounds like it is getting an error that it then times out for, for like 20-30 seconds, then at the end of the time out period, it resolves to let it through.
Particularly if all sites are on the same server (and not virtually separated for example), he feels it’s likely something like above, as it’s apparently not affecting other sites. Also if that is the case, it’s likely not a hardware issues, which would likely affect all sites. Not to say hardware may not need upgrading for other reasons, etc.
At any rate, maybe something to look into, or even contact him. You could find that he offers best value techniques for streamlined upgrade/migration methods in a sound/secure manner and could possibly advise on employing a solution that may better survive ongoing, given the myriad of changes in the IT environment(s) these days.
You may well be satisfied with current advisors, I know sometimes doesn’t get resolved overnight. However, his solutions/mind on small business issues, including websites, have often been refreshingly valuable and cost effective.
Just trying to offer anything that might help...that's about all I can think of.
Oh, one more thing actually...the money side. I'd posed a question to Jamo on the lifetime membership as I wanted be become a supporter. He was going to verify with you, that was fairly recently, and I'm sure you've been tied up with things. However, my question is, is the $500 a one time lifetime membership (I strongly assume), or is it a true supercontributor commitment of $500/yr (which I wouldn't be interest in at this time)? Once I get that clarified, my path to signing up for a contributor level will be sped!
