[Asterisk-Users] ANNOUNCEMENT : NEW CallingCard Application forAsterisk

[Paul Traue, Jr.]

I hate to burst your bubble, but 367,000 updates in 24 hours translates 
to an average of 4.5 trasactions per secon...  If you assume those 
updates only occur within an 8 our window that's still a little under 13 
transactions per second.  Any decent server (HW) wise should be able to 
handle that load without too much trouble.  However, if I'm not 
mistaken, the database at livejournal doesn't get hit nearly as much 
because of the memcached (at least for queries).
