They put a decent amount of strain on it because of the way they work; they used to work flawlessly, but since around early 2014 the server has been weak enough that we do IP checks sparingly because the strain is so great the site often slows to a snail's pace or briefly crashes entirely.
They used to trigger awful, extended Over Capacity messages during the ATRL Dark Ages when everyone got an OC message every 5 minutes anyway.
