How is your test suite running? Are you running 20 instances of your site on a single test machine? Is it possible that the machine is the bottleneck? While the machine is doing its 20 tests, can you load the site another, unburdened machine?

I think part of the problem is we are loading embedded videos instead of thumbnails as it's taking about 17 seconds to load the page with 20 videos now. We have a semi basic machine through staminus.net, but I really want to get my own server that can handle 100,000+ users ay a time. I haven't considered having the load on another unburdened machine but that's a really good idea.
