A lot of these drivers were written in a different era and the defaults are less appropriate now. Having too few receive buffers leaves a trail in diagnostics (if you know to look for it!), having too many gives more subtle problems. But wi

The exemption for non-public generators is there for a reason too. There are lots of businesses and homes with onsite generation for various reasons, and most of them run for less than 100 hours per year. Not a lot of reason to add a report

From what I've read, it's mostly about time. Attaching to the grid, at the powers desired, in the locations desired involves years of waiting beyond construction. Onsite genetation can be built within the overall construction time

It can be. Sometimes you take a profile and there's a big smoking gun and nothing else matters. Sometimes it's a lot of small things everywhere and you can pick up significant performance after a lot of small value fixes. In this

I think they mean the cache entry is a collection of dynamically sized fields. It would be nicer to store that as a single contiguous allocation, rather than a bunch of pointers to individually allocated dynamically sized items. At least in

It's a recursive resolver. The global DNS dataset is not something you could collect to serve directly vs caching from observations. The data source is authoritative name servers operated by third parties, some of which are slow on the
