When I was on the front page of HN, IIRC it meant about 5k visits in an hour. How can such a low number kill a webpage... Or do other on the front page experience much higher traffic?

I also got to the front page and saw similar, low numbers that were trivial to handle. I suspect they can get much higher.

I doubt they are higher judging by the number of comments and votes.
