In the middle of fighting the botnet problem, I also had issues with blackouts to my home, water outage for mains water, and I also had a booked weekend away over the weekend going to a wine region. The problems had largely been fixed, and the call of the wineries combined with power outages meant no announcement. Thats why I called RC from my car to ask him to post something to the list on my behalf saying it was all good :)

The fighting is still happening in the background, but fairly minimal now. In terms of speed, Magento is a great well designed flexible shopping cart, but it is known for being slow on serving pages. I'm mid way through getting varnish on the box to help speed/performance. This much I can tell you. The box itself is in a well connected multi homed DC, with constant traffic of around 10 mb/s traffic base-load, with plenty more room to grow. No dropped packets, CPU is low. If you see poor speed, it will be either (a) Speed of the app running on the server (Magento), or (b) The path to AS9942 where the server is hosted.
