yea, right!
I had that years ago from an accounting system developer. Only my client loaded up a complete warehouse of inventory and about 500 transactions per day. When we marched down to visit the developer he only had a couple of dozen items and tried it with one or two transactions.
He simply didn't understand 'scalability' and was locking every transaction. For much too long. Yes the code was 'accounting practices perfect', but the system was unusable in a real world situation.
A massive recoding and finer grained modularization (and hence locking) also speeded up in other ways such as cache reticence.
Yes, anyone who has been around for long enough will easily recognise that situation. I would be very happy with a plain scalability issue like that :-) I cannot yet explain the - seemingly superfluous - 15000 stat() calls on directories above the DocRoot. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (16.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - your free DNS host, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
