Hmm. I am currently running on the same system, though 64 bit, same 
storage file size, at an average network throughput of around only 1Mbps 
though. It's on a gigabit link though, so peaks can be much,much higher. 
The slashdot crowd is fortunately not interested though... ;)

I've been running for around five weeks, and in that period had one 
incident where varnish suddenly started dropping all incoming for some 
hours. Since then (restart after update to svn code), it's been running 
quite smoothly with a couple of similar (but much shorter) glitches.

I'm running svn code though, not the standard RH rpm, since that one 
crashed more frequently than useful "live".

Anyway, much looking forward to later versions, looking OK so far, with 
promising plans. Will stay tuned ;)
