[drupal-devel] Drupal.org infrastructure

[Dries Buytaert]

Another status update from the infrastructure department:

Kjartan upgraded PHP to the latest version, tweaked the MySQL 
configuration, and installed a PHP optimizer/cache.  As I type this, 
the machine's load is 0.67 but that might change when the US wakes up.
