I'm willing to bet that Ian's Java XAPI is faster at handling a bbox request than Rails is, and so as soon as we can move the requests to this implementation, the better, even if the hardware stayed the same.
Bbox queries (aka "the /map call") are currently handled by a reasonably effective C++ FastCGI implementation (aka "Matt's cgimap") which is, as far as I can say, probably the best you can do with the underlying database structure. If Ian's XAPI is able to beat that (and I'm eager to see results) then it will probably be due to spatial indexing on ways and relations - which our current database structure doesn't do.
