Digg effect - Effect of ranking on digg homepage

Digg killed my friends server. Few day's back one of my friend's article featured of Digg homepage. Within few minutes his server can't withstand the massive traffic and was down for 5 hours. Is Digg homepage ranking worth anyone else had that experience?

Please share it here

I need to go through and trim down my site to get rid of some of the bloat. I'm sure the server could handle it if I just optimized a little bit.; 7:24 PM
