There isn't a configuration problem here as such. The JED server is very highly performance tuned as well.
The issue is that there has been a huge increase in the volume of traffic in recent days. We are now pushing close to 1500 concurrent web server connections where before the number was around 500 - 800. We are not entirely convinced this traffic is all legitimate JED users.
Due to the increased traffic the problem is basically one of memory starvation. When we saw the last spike a couple of weeks back we bumped the RAM up from 4GB to 6GB. We are currently taking the server down again now to bump the RAM up again from 6GB to 8GB. This is a doubling in RAM since last month.
Any steps necessary will be taken to try and tackle this current situation. The 500 internal server errors issue is currently being looked at by the Joomla S&I team as we believe this may be a possible scripting problem. We have not seen this particular error re-produced for a while now though.
