My tablet got in within the first 30seconds. The pc, on which I clicked refresh about 2 seconds later as I missed the button the first time, took about 2min to get to the invest page. Still all done by 3mins past. MoneyThing what was the peak user load on this one, any improvement on 550 for the hearse? MoneyThing Further to ilmoro's question, and if you'd be wiiling to share the data ............ How many investors on Wandsworth today? How many of those took a maximum slice? How to those figures compare with a similar (ish - in size and rate at least) offering of a while ago - say MTAH531 Warrington back in sept 16 ? BTW, Congatulations on getting a loan that size away so quick anyway - you clearly underestimate your popularity !

I just tried to get some of what was left at 4.50 and the site was painfully slow, it really needs sorting out. I got some at 16:45ish, £12k or so left, and the site was just fine speed-wise... <shrug>

(Will speak on this further this evening...perhaps when I have had a glass first. )

A glass and headache pills perhaps. It's a good problem to have.

(Will speak on this further this evening...perhaps when I have had a glass first. ) DDOS = Distributed Denial of Service to legitimate investors. I'm probably going to get some hate for suggesting this idea. How about a online queuing system similar to what The Ticket Factory uses. I can't remember which service they use, but it can handle over 90,000 queue positions.

Most interesting. A final question (for now !) ..... How did this pan out against your pre-live expectations?

There's really no need for a queue, multiple days, bid limits or fast fingers. All MoneyThing needs to do is ask people for their minimum and maximum and they can fill the loan in a few minutes without anyone needing to be around at any particular time.

Most interesting. A final question (for now !) ..... How did this pan out against your pre-live expectations? To be fair...I really did not expect the loan to be so popular and it appeared that much of the 'univested funds' following the recent loan repayments had been withdrawn/reinvested (which I thought explained the quick uptake of the last few loans). Hopefully I will get it right next time...

Max number of accepted bids I counted in one second was 8 (found in the first minute of bidding). Is that an upper limit or could that go higher without MT modifying the setup?

It appears to be a database speed limit. If the database was MySQL that slow would suggest server misconfiguration that could be fixed in a few minutes or using an old version that doesn't do parallel transaction commits. Possibly combined with the cardinal sin of web server and database server on the same box so high web connection count starves it of RAM and forces the DB or its cache to be swapped out, destroying it's performance.
