> Instagram can run 10% more efficiently
Seems quite risky/costly for a mere 10% computational efficiency gain. If you're going to change the memory model of a programming language, might as well shoot for 10x improvement instead of 10%.
- krn1p4n1c 10y agoAt scales like Instagram/FB, 10% is a big improvement.

- owaislone 10y agoAt their scale, it's not about making it faster for the users. It's already fast enough. It's about making the clusters more efficient to save money. At this scale, they have already made things a lot fast for their users by throwing money at it.
