mirrorbird (22:27:48) each tag page links to every other tag in a "narrowing down" way, so following all links would indeed hit all combinations.
mirrorbird (22:26:47) very likely just a naively coded spider. i would put up a robots.txt excluding /demovibes/tags/ and /search/
nyingen (22:24:25) *permutation
nyingen (22:24:05) the crawler attack was hitting every combination of tags in the tag cloud
nyingen (22:23:42) DB load, not HTTP server load, seemed to be the problem
zoi (21:52:22) queue page is probably slow, too, but I guess better odds of hitting cache
zoi (21:51:29) like new uploads, user favourites, songs by cyborg jeff or SIDs.
zoi (21:50:07) seems those slow pages that list songs like to tie up the limited number of processes on the webserver
mirrorbird (21:48:39) less efficient tho, they have to pull the pages to see it
mirrorbird (21:48:11) (ah just noticed a 'meta noindex' tag so maybe it's being done that way per page)
