2 Million Page Views a Day with Quixote

Just to report-in the progress we're making with a real-world Quixote
installation: yesterday douban.com celebrated its first 2 million-
pageview day. Quixote generated 2,058,207 page views. In addition,
there're about 640,000 search-engine requests. These put the combined
requests at  around 2.7 millions. All of our content pages are
dynamic, including the help and about-us pages.

We're still wondering if we're the busiest one of all the python/ruby
supported websites in the world.

Quixote runs on one dual-core home-made server (costed us US$1500).
We have three additional servers dedicated to lighttpd and mysql. We
use memcached extensively as well.

Douban.com is the most visible python establishment on the Chinese
web, so there's been quite a few django vs. quixote threads in the
Chinese language python user mailing lists.

I saw Neil mentioned the word "obsolete",  and thought this list
would be interested to know. :)
