The increased speed is probably because of CloudFlare. I know it’s kind of cheating, but it was the only way to avoid the hug of death. The good news is that the 386 is still serving lots of incoming requests, just not every single one. If I can think of some more authentic way to keep the site up, I’ll try that.

A cluster of load balanced 386 boxes should do it!
Well that and the page is 4KB with no javascript.
