if you don't mind me asking, what package are you using on prgmr.com and the level of traffic it handles.
I've been looking at some VPS options and I wanted to make sure I select the right one that is not oversold + performs well.

I'd heard rumblings in the past to the effect of "Linode has better performance than Slicehost," but I hadn't really seen such a detailed, quantified comparison until now. Now I'm thinking about switching as well.
My Slicehost slices have never impressed me from a performance standpoint, that's for sure. Their admin console and service have kept me in the fold so far, but I think it's time to at least spin up one Linode instance and do some re-evaluating.
I'm using the 1GB offer. This is something that I may blog about briefly, so far it's running TweetingMachine and a couple of other tools, and has supported the Hacker News traffic decently as well. That's most likely thanks to me using nginx and w3 total cache on the Wordpress blog. That said, if someone really wanted to DDOS me, it wouldn't take much for it to fall over ;)
