In light of the problems with Ramoth being unable to cope with load (see #91 and #92 ), and our long-running concerns with Ramoth's replication, I think it is urgent to move karm into production. I don't want to hijack the discussion on #78 so let's discuss it here.

My plan would be as follows:

• Deploy karm immediately with the currently-most-likely-to-perform configuration, based on benchmarks carried out so far.
• Purchase karm+1, as a similar/identical machine to karm.
• Continue performance optimisations on karm+1.

Thoughts?
