Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Linode 1024 has 400GB/mo bandwidth for $40
http://www.linode.com/

Or you can add a bandwidth package to a cheaper VPS.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Hmm ... time for more research
Probably shouldn't cheap out, though. I'm already running too slow with what I've got now.

New Here's my problem
My current VPS has 3G guaranteed (actually 3001MB) and load keeps spiking. Just serving the images shouldn't be consuming CPU/RAM like that, should it? That's why I think I need to clean up the template first. Bandwidth isn't the issue.

And by the way, the estimate for current month usage:
Estimated Usage For Cycle: 458.637 GB

New Here is my comment on your problem...
You are complaining about images taking forever, spiking CPU and LOAD... probably JS and CSS as well.

This way you are effectively only serving the actual content and AJAX from your machine with which its designed to do vs straight file serving.

I think your VPS is IO Bound and memory bound and caching *WAY* to little with not enough memory for the bare metal and it shows with FileSystem IO.

I'm betting if you do an iostat (from the systat package in CentOS) and watch it a while... you might just see something.

I think a CDN will benefit you greatly.

                                     That's just storage/static serving though, right? - (drook) - (3)
