I noticed that once I have redirect enabled, and have my site open to the world, somebotty is 301'ing the dickens out of my server. The bot is trying to hit all sorts of pages, like it is trying to find vulnerabilities in pages that do not even exist here! All of that slows things down. Then once I clear the redirects, clear the caches and clear the search indexer, things get fast again. If I turn off all the niceties in the plugins and components, it is so fast. That is on a two-headed server with 2GB RAM only for me, and over 500 other websites on the same shared host.
