We're still afloat so far. :)
It performed admirably; I was amazed the server stayed up at all. Most can't handle a slashdotting; I'm sure this is testament to LDC's coding skill and your foresight in turning off some of the more demanding processes.
I wonder about the server now, though: wikipedia seems to be down; it won't bring up Recent Changes in a new window and the edit window I have open is hung on perpetually "loading." Are we being slashdotted again (more heavily!) or is there some other cause?
I tried lifting the ban on updating view counters and the slow special pages and load ballooned up like a, well, a balloon. I put it back.
So we're still not out of it yet. :)
