Thanks for the info, bobbyh. I will probably be recommending that to one of my blue blood clients that gets ~10.000 pageviews/day and who needs something managed.

I was actually referring more along the lines of the (dv) base that needs a lot of tweaking and I dislike their UOP breaking on anything.

See http://davidseah.com/notebook/configuring-media-temple-dedicated-virtual-server-for-wordpress/ and http://davidseah.com/notebook/other-optimizations-for-the-media-temple-dv-base/

Let me give you a great quote from (MT) support when my database was slow as... you know what - my WP pages were showing 30 second MySQL queries on average:

"How often are you running into this issue? Right this very second query times on that database seem to be fine. It could be that you where running into the infamous "bad neighbor" effect where one of the other users you "share" operating space with begins to consume an excessive amount of resources. One way to ensure this doesn't happen is to move to a Mysql container, separating yourself from the SmartPool as outlined in the knowledge base article below.

If you have any further questions regarding your (mt) Media Temple services, please feel free to contact us at any time."

But when you're on the Order page you see this:

"Rather than making everyone share and compete for resources on a single MySQL database, the SmartPool distributes users amongst a farm of MySQL Container Servers. Using virtualization technology, the SmartPool achieves a low user density per MySQL instance, which minimizes resource competition and improves overall system stability."

I had thought on upgrading to a (dv) but I heard so much bad stuff about them and their support has been generally so lousy that I'm currently waiting for my slice over at slicehost.com and will be moving pretty soon now.
