Whenever people start complaining about a section, it's always because the moderator is not working or overwhelmed.
I suppose you can blame me for not choosing effective moderators, but you'll need to volunteer if you can do better.

Business › Re: "Cashless" Lagos: How Are You Coping With It? by Seun(mod): 3:47pm On Apr 02, 2012

The cash limit policy is a silly idea that had to be watered down considerably to prevent a financial meltdown in Lagos. On the other hand, promoting electronic payment is a progressive (albeit unnecessary) gesture, though they are doing it for the wrong reasons (to prove that their silly cash limit policy is wise). Policy makers everywhere should learn the virtue of humility from this story.

kodewrita: Hypothetical question: What if you only do the retrieving of data once and convert the result into a picture that you cache (at data entry) on your server or an Amazon Web Service bucket?

Memory is a more likely bottleneck than the CPU, so storing the data in a more bulky format (as an image) will probably slow things down because 1.5 million images would require more RAM than the data used to construct the images. Simple applications like JAMB result checking (and Nairalist) don't require advanced optimizations. Just design your DB and queries carefully such that each page requires very few queries, all of which are perfectly indexed, and your performance would be fantastic.

I meant to say that while the 120s keepalive timeout is definitely tying down some resources, the issue has nothing to do with the number of TCP/IP ports (you can have more than 64000 simultaneous connections on a server). The problem is that every connection consumes some memory, and probably requires a separate thread depending on the architecture of IIS.

There are probably also configured limits on the number of simultaneous active/pending connections, so when those limits are reached, the server will stop accepting new connections.

Some rules have been relaxed:
- The deadline for indicating interest in the contest has been lifter, to increase the pool of contestants.
- The deadline for submitting your final entry has been shifted forward slightly to Sunday 2nd April at 11pm.
Go, go, go, go, go! Code away.

@dell_net: Love the way you think. What you've observed is the HTTP keepalive timeout. Wrong conclusion, though.
