Yahoo had a press release today about their profits last quarter.  

Since people have been saying we should show that FBSD is stable by
pointing out Yahoo and Walnut Creek, I thought this statement in their
press release was very interesting.

"Yahoo! also announced that traffic on the Yahoo! global network of
 properties increased to an average of 95 million page views per day
 during the month of March 1998, compared to an average of 65 million 
 page views per day in December 1997."

Note that averages out to over a 1000 hits/second!  

You can read the whole press release here:

I'd say taking a 1000 hits/sec must require a stable OS.  :-)
