If it's not too inconvenient for the whole integration idea[0] (which I would
like to have if possible) then I'm for distributing the load among machines.
My
server can handle a few things, but my upload rate is very limited (12Kbs
max).
CPU load isn't really a concern so something like the forums could probably
reside on my system.
