As you might have seen, we occasionally get "too many connections" problems on drupal.org. During peak hours the load of the machine occasionally spikes to 10+. After such a burst, the load drops back below 2-3. Most of the day, the load is just below 1 though. I haven't investigated the problem yet but I figured I would let you know. For a few days now, I tried to get hold of Kjartan who administers the machine. It looks like he is traveling so I hope he gets back to us shortly. Know that we haven't properly configured the machine yet (it uses all the default settings) so chances are we get a long way by properly tuning the various configuration parameters. In fact, I don't even know whether we have PHP cache/optimizing installed. Clearly, we will have to look into that ASAP. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
