I doubt all 200 students will be making concurrent
searches.
I can easily imagine a scenario where 200 students in a large lecture
classroom might be instructed to open their laptops, go to Wikipedia, and
search for a particular topic at the same time. Similar to how teachers
[used to] say "now everyone in the class turn to Chapter 8...".
If that is indeed what we're talking about here, it will be disruptive.

These are the
`cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-anonymous-error` and
`cirrussearch-too-busy-for-you-logged-in-error` i18n messages.
I will be monitoring the logs when this goes out, and intermittently
throughout the week as well. If necessary we will whitelist certain ip
ranges that seem to be shared among large numbers of users.
