We haven't put it on the new machine yet, but we did do two other things
late last week:

  o Amos put in some HTTP caching information.  The hope is that images
cache correctly and pages cache for anonymous for around ten minutes.

  o Increased object cache size.  We had it dialed *way* down (200
objects!) while we were doing some debugging and didn't raise it.  We
increased the number.

Thus, before we bring up the site on the new, dedicated machine:

  o Did anybody notice any performance improvements on Saturday or over
the weekend?

  o Did anything seem to break?
