First byte time decreased big time by only switching to litespeed!
Cool. Sounds like at least a good chunk of the time was just poor scaling of the Apache. It’s really hard (at least for us mortals) to scale Apache well for PHP.
I expect the remaining 400ms that New Relic was showing is largely unchanged (unless it’s measurement includes the server wait time but I didn’t think it did).
Thank you, I have recently been searching for information about this topic for ages and yours is the best I have discovered so far.

It turns out we had the same taste in movies. Lorelei liked Action movies and Science Fiction thrillers. She wasn’t into Chick Flicks. That’s really good, because I’m really not into those kinds of movies. Everyday life was boring enough, thank you very much. Lorelei and I became inseparable. We would go to class together, hand in hand.

It’s funny how we adopt words and adapt our lexicon to the times. This is a very useful slant on things.

Just a question regarding Marvin, how did he get to detect dns?
Did he just upload images/js/css files to his CDN?
That’s why it’s detecting it?
IceWoLF, the test does recognize your CDN, but most of your files are being served from your origin server. I only see very few of your files going via your CDN (rss.png, twitter.png, facebook.png).
In vBulletin, you can use the “Add New Replacement Variable” feature to change the following:
http:// www.47r-squad .com/images/
to, for example, the following:
http:// edge.47r-squad .com/images/
There are a few good step-by-step tutorials for this, and you may find them by searching for “[color=#696969]vbulletin cdn replacement variable[/color]”.
Here’s the first one I found (but there are others, too). Read mainly the step #5: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/vbulletin-cdn-content-delivery-network-configuration.html
Marvin & pmeenan, thank you for your help!

First byte times are grade A!
Great. Any one thing that helped most or did you have to grind away at a few?
Well EdgeCast CDN is very good compared to MaxCDN.
I didn’t have enough time to do the deep integration yet, but once I get around it should be even faster.
Some of my Canadian users in the east are having a better luck connecting to my website.
EdgeCast CDN is costing me $10 a month, where I can simply pay $40 a year for MaxCDN.
Also switching vbulletin datastore to InnoDB helped too.
My host was telling me I was some locking up issues with my database involving datastore.
Some weird stuff, but I guess it’s working 
I heard Cloudflare will help improve site load time?
I also tried one here: http://loofamily.info
