			I imagine many of you noticed that the site maxed out last night after the overtime goal by Havlat.
 To put things in perspective:
 
 We peak out at about 8-10 hits/second during a busy lunch hour or just after a regular season game.  That puts the server load average between 1 and 2.
 
 Last night we maxed out at 44.69 hits/second which put the server load up over 20.  In our case, anything over 2 means we're overloaded.  So a 20 means that we had 18 processes waiting in a queue waiting to use a CPU.
