1. What is "very very slow"?  What difference are you noticing:

 - limited bandwidth for downloads?

 - high latency for reaching new URLs?

 - reduced ability to handle new requests?

Basically, how are you measuring the difference between test performance and 
production performance?

2. Please explain your networking setups for the test and production 
environments:

 - do they share the same Internet connection?

 - do they both go through the same firewall?

 - do they both use the same DNS server, or have their own DNS servers, or 
what?

 - are the same traffic rules implemented for each procy on the firewall/s?

 - do you use any form of user authentication, and if so, please give details

3. What volume of requests per hour / minute / day / whatever is convenient 
did you have in the test environment, and what volume do you have now in the 
production environment?
