RE Dreamhost in general: I have found that php based apps seem to run a little more slowly on Dreamhost than on other shared hosting providers. While I haven’t benchmarked sites yet (and probably never will, unless a client specifically requests this), I have been pretty underwhelmed by what I’ve seen from Dreamhost.

Cheers,

Bill

I've been having a wicked bad time with 2.2.1- can't seem to get the WYSIWG editor to work- and have to keep backgrading to 2.1.3 Don't know what's causing your issues- but if you didn't change it- someone did.

I've also enabled WP-Cache, which is a module that uses filesystem caching to reduce PHP and MySQL loads. As a result, I'm not sure how much of the gain is from WP-Cache, and how much is from FastCGI... The page generation time at the bottom of this page says it took 4 seconds to spit out - so I'd guess most of the boost is from caching rather than FastCGI... @Richard: I’m really not sure.

Does it make your sites any ... um ... faster? I have a slow Elgg site on Dreamhost that I would love to speed up, and I suspect that shared mySQL hosting has something to do with the problem. Thanks. Richard D’Arcy,

It worked for several weeks just fine, and all of a sudden just borked. I've got a sneaky suspicion that something's been changed on the server, which is now interacting with the openid authentication plugin...

I agree 100% - WP should just support OpenID out of the box.
