Are the servers really so insanely busy? I can see only a few people 
uploading something every minute 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changesets and that doesn't really 
strike me as something this new server shouldn't be able to handle 
smoothly...

Except when every edit includes an entire city of changes of course...
