I've noticed the past few days that BP is taking longer to load and gets "stuck" frequently.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

We're on borrowed time with this hardware. That's an absolute.
But I haven't noticed just a ton of slowdown myself.
I'll poke around on the server tomorrow and see if anything specific is causing a problem.
Hearing how it seems to be one way or another with people, it's also entirely possible that some specific machine or switch out there on the net, unrelated to this machine, could have been experiencing problems.
Tons of possibilities. Next time it happens, if you know how, do a tracert to www.buckeyeplanet.com and paste the output here.
Also, at the bottom of every page is a value showing how long it took the page to load, that would be interesting if I knew which page it was
The more info the better.

Dual proc p3/1000ghz, 1gb ram, 3x 15k rpm 18gb drives.
On the software side, it's FreeBSD v4.6.3-RELEASE, PHP v4.3.9, Apache v1.3.31, mySQL v4.0.20 and a severely modified vBulletin v3.0.1.
The one place we're golden is bandwidth. Hosted/colocated by a company called EasyNews at their datacenter in Arizona. If there's a speed problem, it's definitely not the bandwidth.
When we get up around 100+users and another 100+ guests (particularly if a lot of those guests are hyperactive spiders), depending on what everyone is doing, I see server loads around 1.75-2.50 or so.
Really going to have to move up to something around 8gb ram, perhaps even higher. We have a bit of stats functionality coming that would cripple this machine. As is, it's buckling under the boards. As a not-particularly-tech-oriented guy, I'm going to have to rely on the recommendations of others for our next machine, balanced against our ability to raise funds for it.
