+Quick poll: Do you feel that ikiwiki is fast enough on this server, or
+should I move it to my much beefier auxillary server?

+If you have specifics on performance issues, you might mention them on the
+[[discussion]] page.

+The current server is a single processor 2.8 ghz Sepron machine shared
+amoung 4 other xen instances, and often 
+[heavily loaded](http://bluebird.kitenet.net/munin/kitenet.net/wren.kitenet.net-load.html)
+by extraneous stuff like spamassassin and compiles. The auxillary server is
+a dual processor, dual core 2 ghz Opteron shared with other xen instances
+(exact number not available from provider), but with
+[little other load](http://bluebird.kitenet.net/munin/kitenet.net/bluebird.kitenet.net-load.html).
