It's been a while since we've reported in. Things have been running relatively smooth since the last release. We've identified a number of improvements, mainly related to the database, and this seems to have solved 90% of our problems. We're looking to hit the last 10% with:
- reducing the size of log files (which are killing cache efficiency)
- having certain applications monitor system state and pausing during busy periods
- running "headless" (without front end apaches, which are causing the page cycle problem)
