and all the high %CPU ones are postgresql.org related ...

also, postgresql.org generates ~298GB of traffic per month, which accounts
for ~56% of all traffic out of the servers (and that isn't included what I
put onto our offsite server for ftp/bittorrent, it used to be ~75% of the
traffic), while hub.org (non client) generates ~175GB (or ~33%) ...

Most (if not 90%) of the paying clients are static pages that are lucky to
generate 100MB of traffic (and note that traffic is all traffic,
mail/web/ssh/ftp/etc) ...

The point: before accusing "hub clients" of loading the servers, realize
that ~50% of the resources are used by postgresql.org, not by clients ...
