[OSM-talk] Server slowness

[Nick Hill]

It is still worrying me how the database load has shot up on 30th December. This 
inevitably causing slowness.

When did the Africa coastline import run from/to?
How many points were involved?
Was there any publicity of OSM on that day which could have led to a significant 
increase in users? Would this result in this profile of usage ? (I think not but 
prepared to debate it).

Steve, did you make any changes to the API or DB set-up around that time?
