>the site is getting hit pretty good right now. and >Either the crowd hasn't really come yet, or I actually did a decent job with the server Isn't it more or less a proven fact that traffic levels are generally lower during the weekends? With this in mind, I think you should definitely expect - and be prepared for - at least somewhat higher traffic come Monday. On the other hand, as you said, current traffic is also fairly heavy and the stack is holding good so it may continue to hold up with higher traffic too. I'd add just one point to what sidmitra and amccloud have suggested: - check/tune MySQL config too (although in our experience, this usually affects cpu usage more than it does memory, it may be worth giving it a look.)
