There have been 'disturbances' in the arduino.cc forum lately. Error 500 ... 'nuff said. Some server settings were upgraded (vserver I guess), but still the MSN search bots pester the forum with numbers way above 40. Today I ran a load test on arduino.cc and the adafruit forum for comparison. The adafruit forum was speedy and responsive all the time, whereas this test provoked the error 500 on the yabb2 driven arduino.cc forum :-( Some help for interpretation of the graphs: loadimpact.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=87

Very nice !

Noise - quite periodic - noise.

Bye bye YaBB, hello SMF. Here's a link to see how the previous software performed.

Polling date from a device via serial.

Give the server more RAM... a couple of Giga bytes should help. And if this should be caused by a DDOS attack, how about using apache's MOD_EVASIVE until things quieten down again?
