I've had one front page (#8!) to my WP powered blog, one time. It was a huge increase in my otherwise very small traffic. Big numbers (for me). Over the 24 h period it was over 50k page views. I run this blog on two Linode 1G offerings. One host for MySQL and one for Apache/PHP. Neither server noticed, I didn't even get a CPU or network load notification from Linode. So, from my experience, it was a big view-metric spike but resources and response times held in place from a simple, cheap, two-server setup.
