It is only your reaction to the situation which suggests that fine tuning software that does 15-20k db writes a second is no big deal to complete.
No, and thats the point. I never implied building something like gpumax was trivial, please dont make it sound like I did.
But monitoring some vital stats like stales and throughput through scripts rather than having a human looking at something 16 hr per day (and that something can only be generated by.. such scripts) would indeed seem trivial by comparison.
So on top of those 15-20k writes per second, you want to add an extra check to each one to tell if the share is stale. If it's so trivial, why don't you buy Pirate an extra server to handle the added load?
