Probably because people like me finally had some time to go through an inbox with 20,000 unread messages. Almost anything that's been unread was either (most likely spam) or (very rarely) just simply unimportant.

@lauriewired, I think the most interesting thing that I learned from this is that memory refresh causes readwrite stalls. For some reason I thought it was completely asynchronous. But otherwise, nice work tying all the concepts together. Yo
