I find it very difficult to believe that this person worked on any sort of performance team, given that what they discovered is pretty much "Handling Load 101".

Running everything on one box? Using swap? No caching? It's like a laundry list of junior admin mistakes.

Generally that's kind of how these smaller 'startups' work... and then I get a call and charge my standard rate per hour ;)
