In short, Drupal6 is running WAY too slow for us and I think this is due to the thousands of queries being run so we need to downgrade from drupal 6 to drupal 5.7

We have over 100 users and close to 800 nodes of content, so it's not feasible to simply copy and past everything across. Can anyone offer advice or their services to assist with this job. I realise it could be timely and costly, but the speed of out site is more important than money so all offers are invited.

Thanks in advance

There's no reason that it should be running unusably slow with 800 nodes and 100ish users.

drupal.org is a d6 site, and it's certainly not what I would consider slow, especially given the amount of content and traffic.

There must be some configuration issues that haven't been quite sorted out with your installation. Are you using page caching? Grouping the javascript & css files? Do you have an opcode cache installed on your server?

I can attest to the SIGNIFICANT difference that is made by installing an opcode cache. I installed apc and my sites are all massively faster in response time.
