Bandwidth isn't our problem, though of course it would be nice to have a
separate media server too. Serving large static files is fairly easy to
do.
But I thought available connections were. And media files will keep a
connection tied up for a while. And the act of taking chunks of a file,
packetizing them and pushing them out to the network still consumes some
CPU, doesn't it?
