Would there at least be an option to implement some temporary stopgap measures until the new engine is ready? For example a minimum order size to cut down on the total number of orders the engine has to handle.
I heard minimum order size was already increased from 0.0001 BTC to 0.0002 BTC.
But I doubt that it will help much to increase it even more (at least the 0.0002 increase did not help)
Yes, we are looking at possibly raising the order size minimums and some other quick things that can be implemented in the next few days. They may not be a huge help, but should help some.
