I know I do, for basic stats, and have gotten meaningful answers in the tens of thousands- see, for example, my blog post of yesterday. > Given the existence of browse.cgi to satisfy most such basic > questions (and their ability to ask us when they have more advanced > questions), > I think the limit could be a lot lower than 2000, though > 2000 does definitely seem safe. > > What'd be really cool is if we could have a way to have queries that > have taken longer than N minutes automatically be terminated.

Olav, do we know for certain that the long running queries were blank ones? ISTR that those take a fairly short time for the query to return and a long time to render in the browser (which makes it look like it is taking a lot of horsepower on the server), and that the surest way to hose the box is with a very complicated query that only returns a few bugs, not a broad one that returns lots of bugs.
