I have a pentium III RH9.0 linux server running Mysql 3.23.58 and apache 2. My geeklog performance is not good at all...7+ seconds to render my index page!
I don't have the vstats plugin, which as I read here has a negative perfomance hit.

My old server was a pentium 200 with 64mb of ram running RH7 (still running as a backup). It handled 6 geeklog websites (the most I saw concurrently was 145 users), mail and ftp servers with no performance problems. In other words you have adequate hardware and software. Things to check.
If you are running X and all the other gui stuff, uninstall it. You don't need it for a server.
Check for dns resolution issues.
Using top see whats using the cpu.

I don't have X in my server, generally this machine has been working as a server for a couple of years.
I fire up my geeklog site in the local browser (which is right next to the server) and watch top on the server. Mysqld pops up as a max CPU usage process only once and very briefly, but site still takes 6seconds to render....
What on earth???

I found this article to be extremely helpful in diagnosing a slow pageload problem for a friends site, and if you run your own server you will be able to impliment this quite easily:

you will be able to see which calls are taking the longest to run.

Are you using portal blocks (when fetching news, these can slow a page load down if the server of the RSS feed is slow)? Any plugins (especially the stats plugin, some plugins can really slow down a system)?
