Things are dreadfully slow at REI right noe. I dont have access to terminal so I cant give a trace route though.

Im not really sure if deleting old posts is going to fix the problem. They might be taking up more diskspace, but I doubt the archives are accessed as often as the fresh content which is probably where most of your bandwidth and mysql connections/problems are coming from.
I also dont think you would need to get two servers. Maybe upgrade to ONE better server but getting 2 servers for this site kind of sounds like they are just trying to sell you more to get you off their backs. I would check the stastics on your server and consult with someone more knowledgeable than myself to see what to do.
