Yummy RAM chips

The little old dinky server I'm using as a spider is going down for a badly-needed RAM infusion. The main link tables in the database have grown extremely large and crawls take 3 or 4 times as long as they used to probably because of this.

... God bless RAM. More generally, God bless Moore's Law. A good complement for a visiting foreigner should be, "May the RAM in your country be cheap and plentiful." We're living that dream today.
