Jeff Marshall recently pointed out that archiving latencies had been rising again - to at least several hours and occasionally the good part of a day. So I pulled out the programming hammer and stated whacking off milliseconds here and there - eventually it starts to add up. I'd guess I probably convinced the system to process about 30% faster overall. It's hard to measure because processing gracefully switches towards a more efficient batch mode when dealing with large backlogs.
Today I saw the backlog almost clear - not quite but close. It was witin 40 messages at one point. That would have been fun as the backlog hasn't hit zero for about 6 million messages. Maybe we'll get there next week, or maybe traffic will grow again and take back these gains. In any case, expect lower (but not zero) archiving latencies at least for a while.And I'm happy to not fret about replacing hardware for a change.
