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?

Those bugs don't cause any extra resource usage. They just cause the count of open connections to be incorrect.

I don't know of any bugs in MySQL that cause the board to consume extra resources.
