[Tilesathome] Expand ROMA servers for general use?

[Milenko]

Anyone know how the performance relates between the XAPI code and the ROMA 
code?  Would it be better to add this functionality to the ROMA servers, or 
just turn them into XAPI instances?

I took a look at the XAPI installation procedure and was more than a little 
confused.  The ROMA procedure was (relatively) easy, which is why I went 
that route with my server.

My server has plenty of diskspace for whatever extra indexes, etc would need 
to be added to the db.  I'll be adding two extra discs to the array shortly 
to bump the speed of the array a bit so that'll add some extra space.

I've also got a second server lined up, but it's without any discs so as 
soon as I can acquire some extra discs I should be able to bring another 
server online.
