first: 1 processor on of 2 total, db untuned -- shitty
second: 1 processor on of 2 total, db tuned --- getting better
third: turned second processor on, rebooted and db restarted with default options. didn't notice for a few days. seemed faster, but still locked a bunch. wtf?

now: both processors on, db optimizations on... so fast. 50% more throughput now. so nice.

*sigh* i wish i could devote myself to one task.

been hanging out at evan's for the past hour or so programming and talking. we're off to adam's now to hang out and eat pizza. seems like pizza's all I eat lately. later.

went to adam's w/ evan... faith there, bill, bunch of adam's IRC friends... ate pizza, played RC Pro-Am on NES ... I got 47,000 points. evan got 98,000. adam got somewhere in the middle. I lose. :-/ oh well. fun stuff.

back now. blythe here. going to do some physics and work on an LJ-related project.
