Plus today, I got the database error page while trying to access pm's. Had to close down the site and reopen to get it to work.

Have cleared all the cache and stuff.

I've cleared the server's cache so let me know if that helps. If not I may have to do a reboot to clear out left over connections from our multitude of spammers and/or attackers.

The reality is that the slowdown is a side effect of a lot of things. I mentioned a few above but we also have the reality of being a large, active site that gets attention of others, malicious and other wise.
