Like any monster, GFY needs care and feeding. Lensman gives us (at Jupiter) a considerable amount of autonomy to make sure it runs as fast as it can.

We're "on the hook" for GFY is what I'm tryng to say. That's how we approach all of our business. We are accountable.

With that said, GFY can be a killer.

If you removed the DDoS / DoS Attacks, highly aggressive proxy based spiders, the folks trying to bring down the site through any means possible, and a massively growing user base, the site would be constantly fast. It's a daily effort to prevent / stop attacks while supporting huge growth. As they say though, "if you build a better mouse trap, they'll build a better mouse". Their will never be a winner so we must fight these things on a daily basis.

Behind the scene, we have a full time GFY admin who's job is to make sure GFY stays up. When it gets slow, find the cause and nuke it.

I think the best way to judge Jupiter would be to look at who we host. Check out the speed from a few different spots, and ask yourself why more than 50% of the top adult internet sites host with us.

If you have any questions, you can hit me up on ICQ.
