That's right boys and girls, over a minute just to list a directory inode.

Now that's some quality webhosting.

[baachus]$ uptime 08:20:13 up 49 days, 2:08, 1 user, load average: 952.32, 740.37, 397.97

Wow, a load of 952... I think that's a record high. Come on Dreamhost, suck just a little harder so you can get to 1,000! Maybe the box will actually catch on fire at that point...

[baachus]$ uptime 08:27:46 up 41 days, 2:16, 3 users, load average: 823.29, 967.80, 810.05

It must be amateur hour over there today. It's amazing how their performance can just be normal... normal... normal... then *wham!* and everything falls over.

Honestly, I can't make this stuff up:

[baachus]$ uptime 06:33:00 up 19 days, 17:53, 1 user, load average: 647.50, 809.42, 596.89

Yes, that is a load average in the hundreds.

A co-worker pointed me to NoUptime.com. These guys look like they're all kinds of awesome. Here's a list of their plans:

And their motto is uh, interesting: "We'll Never Go Down On You.. (Unless You Pay Us)"

[baachus]$ uptime 09:08:41 up 20:29, 3 users, load average: 424.24, 258.30, 176.14

I know that Baachus (aka Dionysus) is the Roman god of wine and inebriation, but I think this is taking that role a little too seriously!
