RCU speed should be better now...ad server had bug!
Our ad server had a bug which I just tracked down...when I upgraded the ad serving software about a week ago the developers had a bug in it. Our loads were through the roof today (2/3/03) so after 4 hours of digging I found it. The programmers moved a piece of code so it was overriding my setting to not track ads with beacons. The beacons put tremendous strain on the server as every ad spawns another server hit and then database hit to track the ad. On a high volume server like RCU this is a no-no. I patched up the code and the server loads dropped like a stone.
Sorry for the slowdown the last few days...should be much faster now.
