Have to disagree with you there. SouthernCharms is in a load balanced situation and it is all static content. Once you are sending out a large ammount of data you are going to need a better CPU, more of them or load balance the servers.
Do you serve any movies from your server BP? If you do, don't. tmanager is not going to add a significant level of activety since it doesn't really do much of anything. Opening a text file, picking out some lines and then placing them into an html file once every 5 minutes isn't going to add much to the server. Same goes for the traffic script. If you are making a decent ammount of cash I'd add a server to the mix and either load balance or put 3 sites on it. Another thing to look into is to put the spider script on it.
