Long story short, the linode idea is sound because you can spin up a server during peak loads, and then kill it during lower usage times. You get a good network spread, so it isn't that bad. I also assume you can load up a prebuilt image.

The way I understand it he has a link such as
http://www.gaming-servers.net/blah.php?id=Mun&page=home
and he is trying to get the page to load the title as:
Hello Mun!
which the php code would be:
<?php echo '<title> Hello' . $_GET['id'] . '!</title>';?>
This is all of course assuming...
IOWAIT is good to determine if your process(es) are/is being held up by your disk / latency, but it isn't a good determiner if that IOWAIT is because of how the program is written, or if it is because the disk is getting hammered.

Could also use the above, no guarantees on the success of really large images or how progressive it is, though it is coded to do so.
