  Server specs:
      1GHz Coppermine
      512 MB RAM
      7200 rpm 60GB Drive.
      Stock Red Hat 7.3 Apache
      Stock IDS 0.82  (not running under mod_perl, or any other speed daemon)

  Read he news section, specifically the Site Stats section.  It gives you an 
idea of how much is on it, and how large the files are.  I should also mention 
that I have previewmaker.pl generate 3 sets of previews when run instead of the 
default one, 512, 640, and 800.

  I personally noticed a speed increase when I moved away from my old SGI 
Challenge which was a much, MUCH slower, 233 MHz RISC processor, with 512 MB 
and a small 4.5 SCSI drive.  But then, who wouldn't?  It was a slow beast, even 
for a RISC.
