it's using tux. you don't want to know how weak of a box it is. It is
routinely under crushing loads. I've put on bandwidth throttles which
significantly help performance on the box itself.

I'm working on a new machine to do some of this stuff but it won't solve
the load problem. That's what more baseurls per repo will do.
