No, there is *deliberately* no number, because if we say that X 
concurrent users is heavy, then someone will run (X-1) concurrent users 
and claim he's abiding by the rules.

I think you can turn it around and say: If your traffic is not 
noticeable then you are not a heavy user. Look at the munin graphs and 
make a guess what "noticeable" means ;)

Bye
Frederik
