our forum has grown to a 500.000 posts with 10.000 pageviews a day.
we are on a shared host with very few options to tweak the database. resulting in a website that is sometimes unreachable when someone is trying to search the forum.
i can't even create a fulltext or custom index to search because the DB will overload :(
does anyone have any idea what we can do to make our forum more responsive?

well, after disabling the "related topics" mod, the execution time for queries went down by seconds....
stupid that i never thought of that before...

You seem to be hitting the Max CPU usage set by your host. This is when 500 internal server errors start to come up randomly. I see you have disabled related topics mod. It will certainly help as every topic you view, it executes a command causing the db to slow down.
