Hi Barry. Well, I can agree that using backlog is an option for handling bursts. But what if that backlog number is exceeded? How easy is it to deal with such a situation?
I just cloned twisted, and compared the size: morphex@morphex-Latitude-E4310:~$ du -s stp; du -s tmp/twisted/ 464 stp 98520 tmp/twisted/ morphex@morphex-Latitude-E4310:~$ du -sh stp/LICENSE 36K stp/LICENSE >>> 464/98520.0 0.004709703613479496 >>> It's quite easy to get an idea of what's going on in STP, as opposed to if something goes wrong in Twisted with the size of the codebase. I used to use emacs a lot, but then I came into a period where it was more practical to use nano, and I mostly use nano now, unless I need to for example search and replace or something like that. -Morten On Thu, Jul 28, 2022 at 8:31 AM Barry <ba...@barrys-emacs.org> wrote: > > > > On 27 Jul 2022, at 17:16, Morten W.
