2 Million Page Views a Day with Quixote

Just to report-in the progress we're making with a real-world Quixote  
installation: yesterday douban.com celebrated its first 2 million- 
pageview day. Quixote generated 2,058,207 page views. In addition,  
there're about 640,000 search-engine requests. These put the combined  
requests at  around 2.7 millions. All of our content pages are  
dynamic, including the help and about-us pages.

We're still wondering if we're the busiest one of all the python/ruby  
supported websites in the world.

Quixote runs on one dual-core home-made server (costed us US$1500).  
We have three additional servers dedicated to lighttpd and mysql. We  
use memcached extensively as well.

Douban.com is the most visible python establishment on the Chinese  
web, so there's been quite a few django vs. quixote threads in the  
Chinese language python user mailing lists.

I saw Neil mentioned the word "obsolete",  and thought this list  
would be interested to know. :)
