I run a Wikipedia instance on the 366MHz OLPC XO-1

Neither storage nor disk throughput help when your problem is sheer
load, and you're computationally-bound.
I also have proxy servers setup and I get about 2000 visitors a day and
over 300,000 hits per day.
Are there links for the capacity planning and performance testing that's
been done so far on production servers?
I have no links. Most of my hits are from Google, Inktomi,
Answers.com,
and other search engines. The server
is under constant pummeling from these robots. Users only account for
about 23% of my daily hits.

These numbers do not take into account the constant DOS attacks and
hacker attempts I get from mainland China. I have the servers setup
on dynamic IP ranges which switch between several IP subnets every other
week to allow folksin China to get access. Most of the traffic,
unfortunately, are attacks designed to kill my servers from China. They
have been having a hard time of late since I setup the SSH ports to
jump around between ranges other than port 22 after 3 or more failed
attempts to login via SSH.
