[14:01] <mahz> man
[14:03] <mahz> just realized the caching system i wrote for the guild is actually the guild's performance bottleneck
[14:03] <mahz> rofl
[14:04] <mahz> it speeds the guild up in isolation (i.e. on my dev server), but under live traffic the cache system introduces a bunch of contention
[14:04] <mahz> swap contention
[14:04] <~Gia> oh
[14:04] <~Gia> So it's designed to not be busy.
[14:04] <~Gia> And if it is, shit breaks?
[14:05] <SammyXmasSong> Got my Christmas kinder teddies out, LOL. A moose, a penguin, wolf and Polar Bear
[14:05] * Bane blinks," Just about... all of that shot right over my head, sorry..."
[14:05] <Orokana> Sounds like it.
[14:06] <mahz> yeah, it's hard to simulate live traffic. my benchmark simulation makes a bunch of parallel requests, but it wasn't good enough of a simulation
[14:06] <~Gia> I imagine you have at least a marginally better idea of typical traffic now, though we're about to enter a holiday period.
[14:06] <~Gia> So you might still be boned until you get those numbers.
[14:07] <HeySeuss> Yeah, everyone's finishing up their exams in the next two and a half weeks, so it's about to get real-er.
[14:08] <~Gia> but we're rooting for you, mahz!
[14:08] * ~Gia cheerleads
[14:08] <mahz> i will see what happens if i redeploy the guild without the cache system entirely
