   Which do you think is faster: Two small servers or one big one?

      @ceruleanspark Depends on what you want it for. If you want lots of small data transfers, I think twosmall ones would be better. For a small number of big transfers, like direct downloads, I'm inclined for one big server.

         @nerthos I'm envisioning web-serving.

            @ceruleanspark Personally I'd have multiple. One master server which serves the hardest of requests with several smaller servers around the world in good up and down datacentres for Cloud of the small and more frequent things

            @ceruleanspark Then I'd say two servers. In case one goes down, the site won't be completely off, just slow until the other one is up again.
