I'm using 2.1.11. I also mistakenly posted the wrong pagelist. I'm using (:pagelist count=10 fmt=#simplename order=random:). I tried PM's $EnablePageListProtect = 0; and has dropped the page time to 7-8 seconds. I use Linux, but I don't have cli access to my web server space. If I find a way to, I'll try your suggested commands. Thanks, Scott
