| Dan, thanks for providing the information about why Misplaced Pages slowed down. Can I ask you to explain something? I sort of know what requests per second means, but I'm still not certain. Can you translate it into other terms? For example, do you know how many pages on average are requested each day, or week? Or are pages and requests the same thing? ] 04:23, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC) | Dan, thanks for providing the information about why Misplaced Pages slowed down. Can I ask you to explain something?

| It's the number of request made ''to'' the servers, eg when you click a wikilink. That results in a page being returned, but as Misplaced Pages is a database that actually means a lot of work for the servers to put the page together and send it. The blue line on the graph is the requests handled by the Squids, which already have saved copies of pages in their memory - when they handle a request they ''don't'' load the other servers, as all the database querying has already been done to make the saved copy. Because when you're logged in you have your personal links across the top, your page requests ''have'' to go to the main servers and they make a new (personalised) page for you. Anon users tend to get Squid pages, so if there's something wrong with the main servers anon users often get better performance as they're only reaching the Squids. ] 08:01, Jan 15, 2005 (UTC) | |||

Hello.
(NB, I regulary clear out this page. You can always view the page history if you want to read old stuff! NBB(?) If you post here, I'll reply here, so check back!)
Do not go around declaring pages "official policy". -- Netoholic @ 07:40, 2005 Jan 13 (UTC)
lol why not?! Who put you in charge? Policy is consensus. I widely advertised that I would be making such changes and no-one objected. Dan100 16:45, Jan 13, 2005 (UTC)
Requests per second
