Throwing money/newer hardware on this will not help for something that is literally broken by design. You can not expect, if everyone[1] can do any SQL query on UDD, this will perform nicely. You will never be able to do proper indexing for every possible query. Users are and ever will be insane. If persons really want to do special queries, UDD offers the SQL dump for download so they could run this on their local machine. While investing in new hardware might make UDD a bit faster, it will not solve the underlying problem and performance issues will either not go away at all or return very quickly. If Debian wants to invest some of its funds in renewing our gear there probably are more important services to us and our users that could benefit from new HW. For instance putting bugs.debian.org on SSDs might be a really nice idea. Having it on machines covered by warranty would certainly not be wrong either.
