[Dxspider-support] Some stats from one of DXSpider's bigger nodes

[Dirk Koopman]

I wanted to update WA9PIE-2 to the latest test version but I left it a 
bit late as this weekend seems to be rather busy on the Ham Radio front.

I've had a bit of negative feedback from a couple of people recently to 
the effect of "programs written in interpreters like perl are buggy and 
slow". So I thought I'd just share these statistics with you:

This DXSpider node runs in a 2GB DigitalOcean droplet with 1CPU and IIRC 
25GB of disk.

Nodes: 28/415 Users [Loc/Clr]: 1004/5612 Max: 1005/5615 - Uptime:  4d 1h 14m

Not bad for a program written in an "old fashioned" interpreted language 
called perl servicing > 1000 users and 28 peer nodes in real time in 
220MB of memory.
