Anyone feeling frustrated by the slow performance of Europa (I suppose
that's all of us, really) may take some comfort from the latest news
emanating from the Computing Centre in Luxembourg:
"The current situation is mainly due to one of our front-end platform
being saturated by an unforeseeable increase in the number of hits this
machine has to cope with since the beginning of this year (50.000.000
hits in december, 80.000.000 in january! 65.000.000 in february). A
temporary upgrade should improve the situation from the middle of next
week. We will of course monitor the situation and take the appropriate
actions if necessary. A lot more important upgrade in our machines is on
order and we expect them to be installed by the end of june, as on the
Internet, it is sometimes difficult to anticipate a sudden increase of
the load."
