Presuming you're using Xeon chips ... the newer 6 core stuff is markedly faster than the earlier quad core processors, am also guessing it will be faster memory in the new server. Having done some work with render farms over the years, I can tell you the performance jump is significant, we were seeing 50% + reduction in rendered frame times when we switched from single quad core to dual six core machines.
Hopefully that will be the speed increase n the background that is needed to bump things back to a reasonable speed which then gives you the legroom to work in the background without affecting how this runs for us.
Appreciate the time taken to list out what's wrong, what's being fixed and the chance to see how you're addressing it - for those of us who work in IT. it makes a lot of sense.

I still have some wrinkles to fix with the NGINX configuration like adapting all of the URL rewriting rules which are very important for gallery images (all the red X's in peoples signatures). The improvement is vast and will only get better with the new server.
Getting this (mostly) resolved means that the thing that has been blocking 95% of my view and commanding 100% of my attention is lifting and I can start to put some energy into the other items on that must-do list...
PS anyone with nginx rewrite experience? I could use the help!

I don't understand the misunderstanding. Any chance of a sentence? I know a paragraph is pushing it but throw me a bone...

Can't seem to find my s2ki email today. I know you're covering all the gripes/complaints, so I'll go sit in the corner patiently.

Thanks for the update and for your diligence, CThree.
I have read your battle plan.
Now that I know that:
(A) you have a battle plan
and
(B) you feel the same way I feel about MyS2k's elemental importance to the site...you have absolutely won me over.
I will now be patient and hopeful for the day S2ki strides back to it's glory.
