Hubris, was Re: [sldev] Cache politics: performance vs obfuscation

[Gordon Wendt]

Apologies to Ann for the double post since gmail at least automatically
wants to send it directly to whoever sent the original message to the list.


If you would like to skip to my ontopic comments on this conversation please
skip to the second paragraph.

@Ann Ironically you just displayed the same behavior you said should be
banned and I take great offense at you comparing people who disagree with
you on the topic of obsfucating information to terrorists.  Other than your
post here attacking other resident's directly I don't see any personal
attacks just attacks on each other's arguments which is the nature of such
discourse when not everybody agrees.   Incidentally it seems so far that LL
knows that off topic conversations and arguments go on in the list and as
long as the main conversation goes along and as long as they are quick and
not overly disruptive these arguments seem to be overlooked... this is just
from my experience so far and Rob and the other list admins take action as
they see fit without much regard to precedent.

On the topic of the issue though since this really is getting off topic I'm
sure there is some middleground in terms of performance but it seems like
high performance would require changing the fundamental way that images are
sent, recieved, and dealt with by the server and client respectively
although I'd be interested if LL or anyone else has data on where the
slowest parts of the process are since I'm not sure we know for sure that
encoding is where the bottleneck is although that is unfortunately the only
part that can really be directly seen except by LL since we don't know what
goes on serverside.
