Upgrade of stats server

[sl1982]

Was just looking at the F@H stats page and this little tidbit was found on there for anyone interested.

In 2009, we will be upgrading our stats server such that the whole database will fit in RAM (this used to be the case, but FAH has gotten quite big over the last few years and the related databases require over 20GB). We expect that this new stats server should greatly speed up stats updates.

Very true, and it's great to read about this upgrade. It was needed for quite a long time. Hopefully this year will see a lot less server outages. Last year must have set some kind of record for the project.

Yes, but this is the stats server, not an assignment server or collection server. Those will continue going down like Paris Hilton.

Speaking of which, what's up with the uniprocessor assignment server? It's been difficult to get work for a few days.
