So I’ve got a rails app up that is handling bigger datasets then I’d imagined it would. It’s not doing so well and now I need to go through and optimize things. Ugh. But check this out:
[kjell@ambrose:~/Sites/quizzer] % cat production.log | wc -l
1541890
That’s a 1.5 million line logfile. Again, Ugh. At least people are using and mostly liking my system. Too bad it looks like it’s ridiculously inefficient. But ah, the joy of computers. Just think about that – it comes close to blowing your mind.
