miller60 writes "The growth of the blogosphere is straining the infrastructure at popular service providers.

Bloglines is also apologizing for performance problems, and says it too will move to a larger data center to accommodate growth. There's been no sign of a mass migration from either service.

Maybe there should be different types, or versions optimized for speed, reliability, redundancy, hot swapping, etc.
