What in god's good name were you guys hosting that required 5,000 quad-socket physical hosts!?

A popular server-assisted mobile browser for crappy phones.

Basically one CPU second per web page. 150k pages/second @ peak. 5 million HTTP requests/s. 150 Gbit/s. The web for 250 million people.

Kinda insane numbers when I think about it now, still. (I left five years ago, after it peaked.)

Opera?

Hiptop?
