I've decided for now to stick with EC2 for a while. It's working well. I
think what I'll do is hire a part-time sysadmin who can help ensure backups
are working and who can maybe help set up the auto-scaling stuff. (I'll make
sure to e-mail this list when this becomes possible)

Right now on one micro instance ($0.02/hour) I'm getting about 60 req/sec. I
can scale that up to 5 instances and get nearly linear scaling. I think that
will get me through for a while.

Optimizing Django turned out to be a bit tricky and it seems to be CPU
intensive. Therefore I was think I'd have to buy servers in order to scale.
However I was able to use the Django Debug Toolbar to find some areas
needing improvement. Also, for work I've been doing some performance
analysis and found out that Jinja2 may be able to provide a significant
boost in addition to what I'm seeing now.

Thanks a bunch for your support and encouragement. There's three days of
voting left. http://squaretap.com/vote ;-)
