As a webhost, I can say, without question, that a connection is considered a resource.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We were spiking the CPU, weren't we, Kristen? At the same time as eating all the connections, which is why we were capped and the code rapidly became useless and we left?

Yes, you were. I need an analogy. Gimme a minute.

I've gone to the analogy well and the well is dry.
Basically, yes, connecting to the database uses server resources. Querying the database also uses server resources but not nearly as much. Which is why connections and MySQL usage are so closely monitored and can get you TOSed out on your ass.

Rob, were you the one working on MARCIE?
I was, but I'm not anymore. Where I left it was pretty much working, but with one bug that I couldn't figure out. ita has the details of what's happened since then.

You're saying there's something else we should be looking at in our code? Did you notice anything while you were working on the filter?
I don't know how to optimize PHP/MySQL applications, but if there's someone who does, they should have an easy time modifying the code to be more efficient. It's well structured and well documented, which makes modification much easier.

Up with the sun
Last time we came up with a whole huge list, none overwhelmingly favored by public opinion, and ended up going with (Working Title) under the theory we would change it if a contender raised its head.
I liked the gag, but it might be worth Nillying the list from last time to see if any of them spark us this time out.
