Also, what kind of box is vger right now and what kind of CPU/memory load is the box at on average?
SS10, 40Mhz SuperSparc, 128MB ram. Running 2.0.33vger + bunch of local networking hacks to kill various bogus sites sending ICMP redirects to it (some I caught were from Australia, haha very funny... ftp.kernel.org gets these from time to time too)
Keep in mind that vger also does loads of CVS activity (read as: very disk and memory intensive) and this can cut into the cpu time zmailer gets and occaisionally causes thrashing when many people hit vger with anoncvs updates etc. (so for the weekend I have anoncvs turned off so vger can catch up with all the email backlog).
A little known fact that caused the recent problems is that the subscription list to linux-kernel tripled in size around the time when Linus started doing 2.2.0 pre-releases and the masses started to notice.
