I started to feel guilty since we have somewhat of a sweetheart deal for 
transit so I've throttled back to about 100mbits/sec.  And it's pegged.  
The leeches are out in full force!  :)

Even when it was at 500mbits/sec the load on the system was surprisingly 
low...between 0.1 and 0.25.  That old fashioned washed up Centos 4.4 
seems to still be holding up.  :)

Cheers,
