Thanks for the tip.  I put the following in my crontab, as I use the default 
DBM database at the moment:

>>  40 4 * * *    perl /usr/local/interchange/bin/expireall -r

However, after running this, my server performance still tops out about 0.7 
requests/sec!  What's even more worrying is that feeding it more than one 
request at a time seems to cause it to drop the others.  Eg.

   [root@secure /root]# ab -n 3 http://www.smssat.biz/
 
   Concurrency Level:      1
   Time taken for tests:   3.119 seconds
   Complete requests:      3
   Failed requests:        2
      (Connect: 0, Length: 2, Exceptions: 0)
   Requests per second:    0.96

Why does that happen?  Or am I just reading the output wrong?

I can live with this level of performance, it's not a problem - I just need to 
be able to serve my actual store with something much faster, like Apache.  
Can anybody point me in the right direction regarding creating a static 
version?

Cheers,

Jon
