I just moved to Dreamhost so I can start to work with Django as my previous host wouldn't support it. I'd be curious to know if the general concensus is that the speed difference is a "fcgi vs flup" issue, or if there could be other factors at play. E.g.:
- Maybe the Dreamhost servers are more loaded and host more domains? - I know at Dreamhost, the MySQL servers seem to be on a different machine whereas at my previous host, it was on the same server as the website. Doing "localhost" DB access would always be faster than across a network. I don't know how ASO is organized. I checked both of your sites and ASO is markedly faster.
