 Hi,

 I think we could easily pay from the existing QGIS funds for a 
 dedicated build/test server. At 
 http://www.hetzner.de/en/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-produktmatrix-ex 
 (where I also have my private server and the GIS server of the City of 
 Uster) you can get dedicated root servers with lots of memory and good 
 CPUs for about 70-90 Euros per month. It is a very reliable company and 
 runs on renewable energy. Adds up to 840 to 1080 Euros per year - in my 
 opinion a good investment if we can get better performance for our core 
 services.
