Thanks (China) for doing this on a weekend! Works out well for what I imagine are a large portion of Github's paying users.

Please stop by tomorrow morning.

Definitely agree! For me, the counter-point is that there's tremendous value in getting the Minimal Viable Product out the door, and iteratively improving it (the post in question was only the 2nd post after moving off a hosted blog). Projects that I want to be perfect before release usually don't make it out the door.

Plus, I'd grown lazy from my lack of traffic :)

Hmm, didn't know you could throw ram at it without adding servers/bouncing the box. Very cool :)

Still, I think there's value in figuring out this stuff by investigating efficiency gains. If I was having to do real tricky stuff (which would probably be beyond my expertise) then the cloud would make more sense for me.
