What about the search engine? I don't know what TBP concurrents is like, but I'd imagine the the search index is the most expensive part of their infra aside from bandwidth.

Good point; forgot about search. I don't imagine it to be particularly sophisticated (probably just substring matching), and last I checked it has a minimum search term length (i.e. ignoring any search terms less than three characters in length); between those two factors it could probably be kept pretty simple and lightweight.
