marcelgoertz,
you may find that some hosts do not even enable logging, which may or not be the case with fasthosts or sharepointing, but something to check. A logical drive doesn't really help in terms of performance, it is still using the same heads and ide channel, a seperate physical drive however, gives you enormous advantages, it may even be worth considering putting your access db on its own drive as well.

What are you basing your comparisons on ? Page Generation time, or just how the forum seems to load ? dont forget the geographic location of the server can influence the overall speed of the forums too (though normally not by big enough amounts that people really notice it). Try tracerouting to your server and see what sort of speed and number of hops between you and the server.
Concurrent users and active users can be missleading as well, you may have 400 "active users" but the odds are they're not all refreshing a page at once and aren't therefore concurrently accessing the server. |

| That little traffic burst was about 10 gigs of transfer in a day. Wow, insane, at least for my site. |

I changed my active users to keep track of visitors in the past hour, but a few days ago I had 1,611 members online. I can't claim sub-second page generation times, but the site did keep chugging along. 
BigBlueBall is on a shared host (www.appliedi.net) with a SQL Server database. Normally I'll have 300+ users online, and page generation times hover around 1 sec. I've got a lot of mods, but nothing like the Crash/SHN portals. I've been very happy with the performance of Snitz overall. |

| I have 66730 posts in 13 forums at my largest forum (with many Mods) running on Access, and page generates in under 1 second at all times, so I´m very satisfied with Snitz ! Traffic is around 10 GB each month. |

| I have the Active Users timeout set to 15 minutes. It's what most all my competitor websites have thiers set on so I did the same. |
