So, after some tinkering, reworking, and optimizing, we've decided that the best long-term solution for Blue Attack and Blue Defense is to move their score databases onto a dedicated server box.
Now, instead of running on a shared web hosting service, with lord knows how many other people on it, the database is sitting on top of a quad-core phenom box with four gigs of RAM and a dedicated 10 megabit uplink to the intertubes.
:)
Now, instead of going over our cpu limit, and locking people out of the online high scores 60 seconds at a time, we barely see a hit to CPU usage during our peak hours. We've got plenty of headroom, and I'm excited that we have so much more power to play with now!
