Angel: I appreciate you guys looking out for Connor all summer. It's just—he's confused. He needs time. That's all. Fred: Right. Time, and some corporal punishment with a large heavy mallet. Not that I'm bitter.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What was the bandwidth like in May? The graphs jump from April to June.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't have that graphic to hand, Jon.

OK. No worries. I thought you might have accidentally omitted it.

Nope. Didn't save it that month.

I'm now running a report that spans those three months, but it could take a while.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

That's not been one of our bottlenecks, traditionally. The beginning of this year was pretty hellacious though.

I don;t think I understand. What is our problem then?

CPU cycles. There's very little we can do to change the amount of bandwidth we use, save a killing spree (which I'm always down for). But the way that our current architecture uses CPU cycles, we need a box to ourselves, because we'd bring everyone else on a shared server to a halt.

Bugs in the MySQL code, which our code hits.

Also general usage, which is paralleled pretty closely by bandwidth.

Q2 stats.

Which bugs are these?
