I have a site running Photopost 5.0.3 and I was wondering if any server resource hoging bugs were fixed between 5.0.3 and 5.14?

I have a dual 2.8Ghz Xeon box with 1GB of memory and my gallery usually has 30 people on constantly throughout the day, but it can spike to 60 - 90 users. The only other real intensive site I have on the box is a VB 3.0.7 forum that that normally has between 200 - 300 users.

I didn't think that a forum this small and only this few of people on my photopost site would cause problems with a box as powerful as this, but the host is telling me that it is and are trying to swaying me to get another 1Gb sick of ram for a monthly charge of $50 a month or a one time fee of $400.

Does anybody know any solutions or have had similar problems trying to grow their galleries popularity? Anybody that can provide any info or pointers they would greatly appreciated. If there's a way I can save money I would really like to know about it.

Thank you!
