[drupal-devel] Drupal.org infrastructure

[James Walker]

There are some big gains you can get from just some simple apache/mysql 
config tweaks... also an opcode cacher makes a big difference (though 
we've been seeing some segfaults in eaccelerator lately :(

Even just upping apache + mysql's max connection settings would 
probably be a good start.
