Basically, the greatcircle.com server runs with a pretty decent load grinding
through mailing list stuff, as well as serving up Web (we plan to separate
those in the future), and we have things set so that Majordomo won't run new
jobs if the load average is over some threshold, thus a delay for subscription
processing and associated matters at peak periods.
