the crawler attack was hitting every combination of tags in the tag cloud

DB load, not HTTP server load, seemed to be the problem

queue page is probably slow, too, but I guess better odds of hitting cache

like new uploads, user favourites, songs by cyborg jeff or SIDs.

seems those slow pages that list songs like to tie up the limited number of processes on the webserver
mirrorbird(21:48:39)
less efficient tho, they have to pull the pages to see it
mirrorbird(21:48:11)
(ah just noticed a 'meta noindex' tag so maybe it's being done that way per page)
mirrorbird(21:47:23)
no robots.txt file -- do we really want the (well-behaved) bots to grab every page? some like the last x hours of oneliner seem a bit pointless to put in search engines
