I'm currently running one anoncvs server, farbror.acc.umu.se, (had two
until a week ago or so), and it can handle the load just fine (a P100
with 64MB ram and two striped scsi-disks for the cvs stuff).. (I just
noticed that it's kinda non-responsive right now.. will be fixed before
the end of the day... prolly the LVM stuff)
