Would love to do a quick
Would love to do a quick thing on page cache, cache minimum lifetime, and the Alternative Database Cache module.
anyone interested?
I just saw this come across the wire: http://www.ostraining.com/blog/drupal/spark/
Anyone wanna do a live demo walkthrough?

Possible Troubleshoot?
If we've got time I'd like to throw an issue I've been having with an incredibly slow site to the group. I've narrowed down the issue to the database as the chokepoint (not running memcache yet) and would like to see if any of the performance junkies out there would be able to offer some tips. Luckily in the anonymous side of things boost is taking care of things but I would love a few pointers based on what I'm seeing. If no time is available I'll try and buy someone a beer afterwards if they can take a look :)
@Jared - I'm all for a spark demo! I haven't done an install of it yet though so I'm not sure if I would be of any help (though I've been following a lot of the background on it). Let me know if I can help with it if needed.

I can do the Spark demo
I have a local install and I think it would be fun to spend 10 minutes looking at all the cool stuff in there

Cache_Menu
Good to see everyone last night at SEADUG.
I didn't read the threads too closely, but it looks like cache_menu expanding hugely is still an issue for D6 (and possibly later) sites: http://drupal.org/node/231587 and http://drupal.org/node/1234830.
Good luck, Chris. Tell us how you resolve your slow db issue.

Thanks for the links
Thanks for the links Will!
Looking at things from last night to today I do believe it's the cache_menu that is the issue. It's not cleared on cron cache clears making it grow with each node that is added (each node gets a new cache for each menu).
I think what may be killing the site is that the primary links menu has 1500 items in it. Though only displayed to the 2nd level this is what is used to route the breadcrumbs on the site. I'm going to see if I can find another way around the breadcrumb issue (or just remove it cause who really uses that anyways! :) ) and pare that menu down to a reasonable size. It's just caching unnecessary data on each page since that menu is everywhere.
I'll keep you all updated on how it goes and thanks again for all the combined brain power last night on this issue!

patch
Give this patch a shot, it might help with breadcrumbs http://drupal.org/node/1710656
Does this happen in D6 since
Does this happen in D6 since there's no entity loads there? The site currently is in D6 but great find on the entity loads that'd be great for D7/8 sites. Hopefully it makes core!

D6
Ah ok a D6 site. I would first make sure you're max packet size is larger than 1mb; I like to set it at 32mb.
