idea - looking for input

[Jim Fox]

I suspect you mean 'bear with me', but otherwise OK.

One problem with this sort of page is that few people ever update
their information there.  You end up with a snapshot: how things
looked in, say, November, 2013.

An IdP's peak load, accesses/minute(?), might be a better measure
of the needed capacity.
