I think we clocked the server down to six parallel threads down when the queue random button was new, so when all those are busy with digging out tag clouds or whatever, you're left with a 504 from the fronting nginx.

I have a bit of experience scaling up services and loosening up bottlenecks. Been working at a startup the last 14 years doing video streaming, and scaling up stuff like this to the masses.
