<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><item><title>Faster Server</title><description>I've been piling more and more work on my poor server for the last few years, and never really thought about the amount of RAM in it.. I checked it this morning and it had 256 meg of physical memory.  Meanwhile it was swapping on almost every page view, and just generally not having a good time.&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&#13;
I plopped another 512mb PC133 DIMM in it (yes, it's that old) and now it's quite a bit zippier.&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&#13;
This is the machine that hosts &lt;a href=http://www.stevex.org/longtail&gt;The Long Tail&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=http://www.stevex.org/dottext&gt;my blog&lt;/a&gt;, and a few other things.</description><pubDate>Thu, 01 Sep 2005 19:17:08 GMT</pubDate></item>
