With most of the slashdotters gone again I thought it would be nice to share some statistics. The last day the website had around 46.000 visitors and served 1.800.000 requests. Load average went up to about 55 maximum and was between 20 and 35 most of the day. The webserver was set to handle a maximum of 110 clients at a time and most of the time it was actually serving 110 clients. All in all, I'm not unhappy. The site did slow down considerably, but it didn't fall apart completely. If you were a bit patient you usually got in.
