I seem to be ahead of schedule so we might actually get the new server up and running prior to the weekend. I've done a lot of load-testing on it and am very pleased with the results. Page load times are a tad faster but nothing that's going to knock your socks off. Under heavy load however it doesn't seem to slow down, unlike our current server. The nightly backup scripts have improved dramatically... going from 10 minutes on our current server to 30 seconds on the new server. I've almost eliminated all the code incompatibilities from our upgrade to the newest versions of PHP and MySQL, so pending any unforeseen issues we should be good to go ahead of schedule.
