* If you're using SMF 1.0.x, make sure the "Check avatar size every time it's displayed" setting is off. This setting was removed in 1.1.
* Do you have eAccelerator or another optimizer installed? What is eAccelerator?
* Do you have a lot of posts? If so, have you converted any of your tables to InnoDB?
* Have MySQL's settings been tweaked to optimize memory usage and general efficiency?
* If you're not on a dedicated server, are you sure others on your server aren't hurting your forum's performance? If you're not ready for a dedicated server now, think about planning for one when your forum gets to a certain size.
* Once you're satisfied of (or properly confused with) the above, if you're still having problems... simply create a new topic in this board, with the status.php file attached uploaded to your server, and some indication of peak times, what your problems are, and what you've done about them so far.
This is currently an incomplete list (although it contains the most important points.) More detailed information is in the works.

Well, I have tried all of the suggested things in the checklist and my forum is still slower than X-Mas.
I use fatcow for my host...all other sites I have on fatcow run fine, including a joomla! database I have on antoher site.
The forum is located here: http://setformation.com/forum [nofollow]
Here's my server status file: http://setformation.com/status.php [nofollow]
Phpinfo file is here: http://setformation.com/phpinfo.php [nofollow]
PHP5.
The slowness seems to come and go but is slow more often than not.
Please help!!!
Thanks,
Marty

Wait a minute! I just read the Unix host post and changed the load.php script and truncated the sessions table and it seems to be better!

OK, nevermind. It seemed to work well for a while, but is now slow again. STILL NEED HELP!
I have posted a more detailed explanation on a seperate topic that is not stickied.

Haha, AMD can't spell. Supposedly, my web host has a "AMD Athlon(tm) Prosussor" :P

And this is mine: Opened vs. Open tables: 38789.6719 (should be <= 80)
What does this really mean?
Also what does this mean: Have MySQL's settings been tweaked to optimize memory usage and general efficiency?
