Could you post an article about the migration?

"Thus with the current Phoronix.com server being around 16 months old and powered by Haswell, I figured the best solution is to start fresh on a new and faster Skylake server with a fresh CentOS install. "

maybe you should just cache some things? and use cdn? have you heard about it?

Yes and last time I tried a CDN (CloudFlare) Phoronix readers were mad over it...

@Michael: How come you haven't configured NGINX as your web server? Is there a particular setting you are using with Apache that you couldn't configure with NGINX?

Michael Why do you use Apache over Nginx when you get as much traffic as you do? Surely nginx would be the better performer?
