Question - is that 10s linear CPU core time for a parse, or 10s of average response time given our workloads? If it is the linear one-core parse processing time, how much of that is dependencies on DB lookups and the like, externalities within the infrastructure rather than the straight-line CPU time needed for the parse itself? Amdahl's law works both ways... -- -george william herbert [email protected] _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
