Yes, that's the problem. In most cases I've seen, the cause for a timeout does not go away quickly, so such a programming pattern tends to spread the congestion even further. I think there has been quite a bit of research in the Erlang context how processes can avoid increasing load in an already overloaded situation, but I can't find the papers right now. _______________________________________________ Rust-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/rust-dev
