If the stats you're showing above are typical, and you're seeing a
performance problem, then I can only think of two possible problems:
1. Your pipe to the interenet is overloaded. If you've got a T1 (1.5M/s)
and it's trying to transfer 2m/s on average, you're going to see things
go slow.
2. Your site is bloated. If most of your clients are coming in via
dialup - your primary bottleneck will be their phone line. You say
800,000 pages/month. What is the kilobyte/page average? It might just be
big slow pages that take a while to download.
