These tips are for people getting slashdotted, not people building the next Google. Your average blog simply isn't "heavily dynamic", and if you're building Google/Facebook/... there are better resources.

I'd imagine watching free Apache instances/threads, outgoing bandwidth or probably even the Apache logs would be more useful.
