iPad Frenzy

Wow, my iPad article from 5 years back is having a bit of a friendship day, and as a result the server is having its busiest day ever.

top - 12:40:22 up 134 days,  2:52,  1 user,  load average: 10.24, 6.99, 5.46
Tasks:  90 total,  15 running,  75 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 94.7%us,  4.0%sy,  0.0%ni,  0.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.7%hi,  0.7%si,  0.0%st

Everything’s locked down using WP Super Cache and as a result the server seems to be coping, though its CPU use is way up.

Note: if you’re going to reference the article please just link to it, and don’t hotlink the image. Depending on how much residual traffic the current hotlinking generates I may have to deny access to the image and redirect to a picture of a kitten, or something.
