Hi,
Thanks for your efforts. It seems to me that we have a lot of anoncvs and
viewcvs processes because as the server has had some problems lately, users
try desperately to access the cvs repositories. A lot of those processes might
have been started by scripts automated by the users; that is very hard to
control. The only solution I see is to make an upgrade to a more powerful
architecture; a faster CPU with more RAM. And if the number of hosted projects
continues to increase at the current rate, we will soon need a cluster to keep
Savannah running.

Being on the other side of the Atlantic, with a very slow Internet connection
and with no free time, I feel very useless to help on this issue.

To make things even worse, I've noticed that a lot of messages sent to my
e-mail account in gnu.org are bounced. I've been removed from some lists
(including lists in gnu.org) because of a high number of bounces.

Cheers,
Jaime
