CCP Veritas' new "Fixing Lag" blog focuses on player module repeat optimization. You can read all about it here.

IBC, and awesome job. Does this only apply to Civilian guns for now? I understand it's a stepping stone towards other module optimization.

This applies to any module that is repeating.
Civilian modules were used in the in-lab tests simply to make sure that inventory operations on ammo didn't introduce any noise in the measurements.

Great job! Glad you guys are still hot on the trail and making active improvements. I'm loving the amount of new blogs... I hope CCP keeps going with them when the "crisis" is over.

Nice to see quantifiable progress in both fighting lag and communicating with players.

Great job! I hope you CCP guys will continue to improve stuff to improve server performance.
Though - you didn't say anything about performance improvements regarding massive fleetfights and stuff. If i recall correctly the problem is mostly about repeating, then i guess it'd have a wide impact.... We wantz numberz !
BTW, First first page !

I for one certainly plan to. The report structure of this is something we've been doing internally just for our own bookkeeping and peer review purposes. Converting them to devblogs is fairly painless. I'm not saying all of them are going to hit devblog, but the big ones should.

Props for using a horrible corporate buzz-word (Low hanging fruit)
I have a question about the general cpu usage graph at the end. The graph's sample size shows there are 2 down-times before the flag, and 4 down-times after the flag. Was this taken into consideration when calculating the average cpu usage, as to not skew the results?

It's just average... along with less dts, there's less CPU load time (since the server has been running for shorter durations) - so it all rounds up

that reminds me of the work i do :) very cool stuff!! :) would be interesting to see with what kind of tools your working to analyze the details of your problem e.g. how much is home made monitoring tools and if you work with performance measurement tools which are available on the marked
side note: my job is to a big extend doing performance measurements for web applications which create similar effects on the back-end e.g. DB, where you never expected that a certain action in the front-end caused so many db calls, where actually the programmer should know but because its getting so complex can't really see it until you test and monitor it.

Don't take that graph too seriously. CPU usage per player is a pretty squishy metric to begin with, and no two days in Eve are the same. If I could take 15 days with the change and 15 without, then compare the numbers for those in aggregate, it would be much more meaningful. Of course, that would mean 30 days of not being able to do anything else to the cluster, which is not a cost I'm willing to pay.
The take-away from the last chart isn't that it was an exact 5% drop (that number came from eyeballing the graph, so, yeah, really weak), but rather that a cluster-wide effect was felt. For such a trivial change, that's awesome. Well, 8.5 awesomes, to be exact.

In after Chribba.
I love these new devblogs. *NORMALLY*, we wouldn't get any new devblogs until a few months before the next expansion rolls out. Filling in the dead time with lag fixes, bug fixes and other tech blogs is a great way to make your customers happy. ----------

I just find if funny that a nearly useless gun can use so much CPU. when I read the Dev blog. All I can do was laugh. Keep kicking that lag monster's ass. as well as remove its dignity. ---

On one hand, I'm very sad that this took this many years to fix. On the other hand, I'm glad it's better now. Well done, in any case. === "The data does not support that polished quality sells better than new features" "Once Incarna and Dust are fully implemented, focus will probably shift far more towards improvement" CCP, FTW? |

Might this fix be related to the much longer time it now takes to switch crystals on active guns? ____

This should really help fleet battles out! Great job CCP, find a couple more bugs like this and we'll be having smooth 1500 man fleet fights

Excellent. Nice catch and fix! Hopefully will put that 5% improvement to use soon.
