Ahh, Charles, you're being too hard...
There is a fine line between beating on it and pummelling it to death
however. Personally, I'm rather enjoying watching the abuse come our way.
Even with the limited hardware that we've deployed (note, we're certainly
not talking about a farm of RS/6000's here), I'm quite pleased to see that
we're standing up to the abuse.
The upshot is that the currently deployment is well suited to running a
small registry on the current hardware - I had originally thought that we
had underpowered the system by running it all off of one box (appserver,
two DBM's, etc)...it turns out that the system can be far more economical
than originally thought.
