KWSN Orbiting Fortress

[KWSN - News]

The massive increase in sieve speed (almost doubling our output) in the last week has really started to strain our DB. The biggest reason is because people are queuing a TON of work. We've gone from ~60,000 workunits outstanding at any point to more than 195,000 outstanding.I've found more than 100 hosts that are responsible for about 50% of this queue, each with more than 450 workunits outstanding. Please consider reducing queue sizes, as it puts a huge strain on the database when hosts are queuing 1000 or more workunits.Please expect intermittent downtime through the next few days as I have to sometimes take the DB down for 15-20 minutes to get more work on board and optimize the database tables.Additionally, workunits will start going out that are 2G in length, rather than 1G, to help cut down on how many WU we're going through.
