use NO control panels whatsoever... administer your machines the old fashioned way
step 1. reconsider "virtual dedicated" machines, and go dedicated. so you can do steps 2-5

step 2. setup an isonet between both machines for mysql communication.
step 3. configure machine 1 for apache high-performance.
step 4. configure machine 2 for mysql high-performance.
step 5. completely remove apache from machine 2.
step 6. completely remove mysql from machine 1
step 7. setup your firewalls accordingly.
You can also consider removing $cronimage from your footer and placing it into a separate php file that calls global.php. Run this script as a unix cron at intervals respectively with your most frequently run cron jobs. On big boards, this gets called too often and can help conserve resources.
