With the old version, the server never actually crashed, but did go above loadavg of around 4 (max acceptable) on occasion. We're talking 250,000 to 500,000 hits per day with peaks in the 1000's per minute. With the newer version, the servers are in good shape and everything flows quite well. With so many users, random seems to distribute the load evenly.
If the server is actually out of commission, the app gives up on that one and tries the next in the series. Again, it seems to work well enough. Once the next version is out, we'll see how much better the loadavg is under similar loads to the current version. We're going to force an upgrade on most users, except for the old 1.5 and 1.6 people who will be basically unable to upgrade so we'll leave them alone for now. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
