performance limits of a linux box

[brian blakeley <we...@labourunions.com>]

I have been looking at the issues that CheBlogs.com has been having and 
in test the new 3.1 rc1 software I see that I have nearly 500 registered 
users with just over 500 blogs running (according to the install page 
that came up when I started the test server up).

Can anyone confirm that with these numbers I am unlikely to be able to 
configure my Virtual Private Server to meet the load that I am getting 
daily?

Also, if that is true, what are people's thoughts on a single dedicated 
server doing much better?  Assuming I go for a dual Processor box?

Thanks, everyone!
