After whinging in the ear of my host, Streamline.net (poor quality but, erm, cheap), they have moved my MySQL database to a different server – a better one, they say.
Well, they didn’t have to, so I have to thank them for that. Both this blog and the Copy+ site has been updated appropriately – time will tell if it will help.
Longer term it’s still my intention to move to Memset.
