Photon and I are working towards offloading all of the static content (images, CSS, javascript, etc.) to other servers (a content distribution network) in order to allow the main server to just serve the php generated forum html. This should allow us to double the number of concurrent users before slowness occurs due to network congestion.

Thanks, I'm always curious how the backend works.
Can you pass on any DB statistics? I'm assuming it is MySQL. (I'm an Oracle dba, so I'm curious about your table sizes, schemas, etc.)
