I don't know if this is simply a case of "failure under load", but a combination of issues. Besides Michael, how many sites do you have running on the House of Fusion server? I'm guessing that it isn't anything like the number of sites a shared hosting environment has... like somewhere between 60 and 100. A server used for shared hosting isn't (and shouldn't be) set up the same as a dedicated server. There are many more issues that have to be considered and--I'm sure--lots of custom configurations.
Basically, the issues going on at CrystalTech are probably not going to be as big a deal if you operate your own machines... there is always a trade-off.
