... a *month*? Doing what, I guess is the question. I serve 2 million tiles a day off one old server; based on some back of the envelope numbers, I'd say that's probably about 50,000 users a day. (Possibly more; I don't have stats handy.) In the big scheme of things, this is practically nothing: OpenStreetMap, for example, serves 20 times this many tiles (ranging up towards 400 requests/second). http://munin.openstreetmap.org/openstreetmap/tile.openstreetmap.html Clearly, doing interactive editing and the like are much different, but even OSM's editing stats far outstrip '1M hits/month': In the past month, 7500 users have made something along the lines of 15-20 million edits, with some days reaching more than 2 million edits in a single day: http://www.openstreetmap.org/stats/data_stats.html http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Statistics Regards, -- Christopher Schmidt MetaCarta _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://geowanking.org/mailman/listinfo/geowanking_geowanking.org
