Hmm... let's see... 7,152 nodes, 4,300 users, and if I read the monthly 
log correctly, it seems like it averages 15,300 hits/day with a peak of 
18,000 hits/day on wednesdays. But I think that might include all the 
files that go into making a web page (CSS, logo, etc).

We have a shared hosting environment, of the type that doesn't over-sell 
disk space, so it is somewhat intermediate between a typical shared 
hosting and a dedicated host.

The servers run RHEL, PHP 5.2.8 and MySQL 5.1.30.

Uhm... I can't think of anything else I can say about the site. Does any 
of this help answer my question?

Daniel.
