Someone intelligently (hah) decided to link to the (1 MiB) page with the entire wlog posts of the last decade (plus CSS, webfonts, …) instead of to the permalink of the one article (15K), and then over https.

The webserver is a first-generation Celeron 2.4 GHz (Dell PowerEdge 750, AIUI) with 1 GiB of RAM, running MirBSD (not the fastest OS out there) with Apache. So, no surprise.

Yes, one of _those_ Celeron CPUs with so few L2 cache it can be discounted as having none.

For that, it does remarkably well (though 「ls -l /var/www/logs/」 surely shows the traffic ).
