That's good to know -- we'll have almost the same volume.  Anyone have
that kind of volume who has maybe a year's worth of tickets?  I'm just
concerned about what's going to happen once we get to 50,000 tickets or
so. I guess we could purge the database of old tickets or something if 
it slows down, but it would be nice if we could keep tickets around for 
analysis.
