SSL -- I can't disable, as it affects the authorize.net payment system

Front vs back -- front instances have been using 5-7% of CPU, which still seems high, but with a recent server switch, this is the first time I've . Front goes faster, but it could go a lot faster. That should be easier to optimize, though -- need to double check images and js/css file sizes.

Site running -- since 2013, but I've rebuilt it once or twice since then, with a full revamp of our home page design this august. I don't quite remember when it got so bad -- it seems to have been slowly running down and down.
