Just wanted to update everyone on what has been going over the last few days with regards to our new hardware.

Our move to the new hardware a little over a week ago went great and we had almost no downtime and noticed a great boost in performance; but we started to notice a few problems where performance would dip, and it would often be during low traffic.

We discovered there was a few problems with our new setup; a few odd issues were causing some webservers in our cluster to silently drop off and stop receiving requests (as more webservers drop off performance degrades).

After a few days of little sleep, lots of coffee and searching far too many log files we have fixed these problems and webservers are no longer dropping out of the cluster.

Performance over the last two days in particular may have been much worse then normal as we had to reboot the webserver many times attempting to resolve these problems.

With this issue resolved we now move back to more fun hacking: adding new features
