You may have noticed, during peak hours (evenings, etc) the site ran a little slower.
Now, instead of sharing a machine with 500+ people -- we have dedicated processor, memory, and harddrive on a machine with very few users.
So, to answer your question, the site may be a little faster, yes. And, we have our own 'slice' of a server. Its not a full 100% physical machine dedicated to us. [
