Well, I guess it's time to give the hardware a little kick. It's served
wikipedia well, but the load is really pushing it lately. What happened
with the stuff Jimbo was talking about a week or 2 back or so? If not,
is it possible to start a donation drive? or supplement Jimbo's
(potential) donation with outside donations?
as a side note, i remember you talking about implementing memcached
about 2 weeks back. How did the test go? anything that looked promising?
