The new Poll is:
Standard E-Smith features that I use the most
and then several of the features.
I moved the database off, to another machine on the internal network, so my poor web server(p133, 32 meg ram) can handle the load better. In timed tests it is about 35% more responsive.
The othe side of this is that it makes it easy to move the web site to another machine quickly. I just install php-nuke several modified files and the theme files.
