Most of build.webkit.org is now running on the newer/faster storage. However, 
the results data[1] is hundreds of gigabytes, going back 6 months, and the new 
storage is not big enough. Does anyone have any opinion on how much data to 
keep in results? Does anyone ever look back more than a month or two? For now, 
the results will still come up a slowly, but hopefully the rest of buildbot is 
a little more responsive. We're still planning to move all of webkit.org to 
better hardware soon, but we hit some delays in that process.
