You are right. That is why I said "relatively". It is relatively high for my setup.($5 linode with 2gb ram that runs 4 instance gunicorn server.)

Try accounting for peak load times.

If only it worked like that, we would avoid so many problems.

Sadly you cannot extrapolate at all the load of a server with their numbers of pages seen per day, depending on the use you can easily have peaks of more than 10x that.
