My personal opinion is that it's either 1) drag from other sites he has on this server or 2) a function of our database being huge and vBulletin 3.8 being inefficient, but those are just educated guesses. I'm pretty good at playing with software and figuring things out, but that's hard to do when everything you try takes down the server for 12 hours while it reindexes everything.
I think if it were me, I'd probably just bite the bullet and change us over to something like Xenforo, which is much more modern and able to handle big queries, but that would be a relatively painful transition in terms of both time on the backend and user experience.
But that's where we're at. Until AC finds the motivation to really mess with it, it kind of is what it is.
