The super-server is coming tonight or tomorrow. Until then, I can do what I just did—restart the server and kick everyone off for 30 seconds. Next strategy: one of those little deli-counter "take a number" machines. NEXT!
Something VERY useful for adding new books would be a "me too" feature such as the OCLC has, for speeding catalogers at libraries in adding and updating their collections. If I browse a LibraryThing list and can poke a button saying "I have that, too" to add it to my catalog here, it would be quick and simple; it would also save wear and tear on the LC server, if items already cataloged here don't have to be looked up with them again and again.

Now that an Army of Book Collectors have decided to hang out at LibraryThing the server is being overloaded:
Warning: mysql_connect(): Too many connections in /home/virtual/site8/fst/var/www/html/response.php on line 254
- fatal error (1)
The above message appeared when I tried to enter a new book. I hope we all send in at least ten dollars soon. This project might need a super server!
Good luck, all things work out in the end. :*)

from the look of the error it sounds as though you are getting a database connection for each request.
It would be better to introduce full databse conncection caching as well as just limiting the number of concurrent connections.
This would also improve the performance no end.
I'm going to start a support group: AAHP: Adults Avoiding Harry Potter.

Thank you for creating such a delightful tool!
