I explaned in my last message about the delays, and some causes, local
traffic seems NOT to be an issue, all that [EMAIL PROTECTED] does (or so
i am informed) is mailing lists and CVS updates.
Here is a quote from another mail received by me from another list.
It's just as bad on all the lists hosted on vger (especially linux-kernel,
subscribers to which apparently tripled recently when the 2.2.0-pre
kernels arrived).
The server is massively overloaded, simple as that. IMO, something which
would help a lot would be to move the vger CVS to a different server (it's
on the same machine that does the mail at the moment, and can really slow
things down when people start doing CVS updates).
People we will just have to wait and see what happens, it will do no good
to just keep moaning and taking up even more CPU time at vger.
