Preparing for Large-scale Wordpress MU Usage

[CheezItMan]

Thanks for the reply.  I'm running Quick cache, but bliz.io still
reports failed connections at 250 and 500 users.  I'll try supercache,
it previously didn't really help multisite (except the root of the
multisite).  

The new version of Supercache does seem to work better.  However running
blitz.io with 1000 people connecting I still get 100 or so timeouts and
a few errors.  Granted it's 100 or so timeouts out of several thousand
but still....
