Dirty Laundry

« Tumblr Spammed! Tumblr Dead? | Main | Maintenance: More Memory! »

It looks like the technical difficulties I mentioned a few days ago are not fully resolved. For the technical readers, here is a picture that explains everything:

As you can see, this particular server has only 1 GB of RAM! My laptop has more RAM than this, and yours probably, too! You can also see that the poor server had to resort to using swap space, too, and is currently using 35 MB of it. Since swap is slow, everything hitting this server slows down and takes a long time to process. This is why the load is over 80 - that is how many processes are currently trying to run and use the CPU. Lovely, isn't it? Needless to say, I will be adding more RAM to this server as soon as possible.
