Have you done this yourself on a high-traffic production-level webserver?

The webservers I've done mod_rewrite rules on average 25,000 unique visitors
and 80,000 page views per day (according to Google Analytics).

According to alexa.com's statistics, they're close to the same number of pageviews that opensolaris.org gets (and in some cases much higher if you go out to the 3 month or more charts to see the different peaks to each
site).

Alexa isn't very comprehensive and it's not in alignment with my logfile analysis which, for instance, shows about 300k page views yesterday.

And you can't fairly compare apples and oranges. This is a reasonably large, complex and mostly dynamic content site which has a whole host of different considerations than a more simple and flat structure. The underpinnings of this site are not as orderly as they may appear to be and I'm being awfully kind.

As an aside, I could likely make some marked improvement on the Finnish recipe section sometime as I spent a good bit of time learning Finnish so that I could make Finnish food to impress my MIL. :) The American adaptations of Swedish and Finnish food both are usually far off the mark for some reason. I have a Swedish meatball recipe I took from a classic 1880s Swedish cookbook that is pretty much the standard by which all others are judged. :)

We're not all as stupid and inexperienced as you think we are.

Stupid and inexperienced weren't the two words I'd use and I didn't.
