They say, the everlasting problem for professional cosmetics is growing quality of optics and media used for movies, celebrities should continue to look perfect. But I can bet you've never paid attention to that fact while looking at the final result. Similarly, growing database size and growing hit rate and growing complexity of queries are not obviously visible from outside, but turn the hosting into a race. We're improving the underlaying RDBMS as fast as we only can just to prevent the service from total halt. One might wish to provide a better service on their own RDBMS and thus to make a good advertisement, but nobody else want to do that _and_ can do that, so we're alone under this load. If you wish, you may help us with hosting and/or equipment, or simply set up a mirror site and we would be glad to redirect some part of load to your cluster. Even an inexpensive $20000 mirror would help to some degree. Best Regards, Ivan Mikhailov OpenLink Software http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com
