[Tilesathome] Some First Day Stats

[Christopher Schmidt]

As the day has gone on, DNS has forwarded, and more people have brought
their rendering clients online, the new t at h server has been roaring like
gangbusters through the existing tile backlog.

Minimum turnaround for small tiles is now astonishingly low -- from the
time I issued a request for a mostly empty tile to the time it was live
in the map on a request earlier today was just 93 seconds.

Currently, there are approximately 150 'active' requests. These are
requests which have been taken from a client and not returned. This
is approximately equal -- give or take 10%-15% for failures or things
that never get returned -- to the number of clients that are currently
rendering.

HC is reporting that in the past hour, almost 700 tilesets have been
processed - this is almost triple the average hourly rate for the last
week that t at h lived on dev (258, according to munin).

Other than a brief hiccup earlier today when updatedb kicked in, the
time for the pending tilesets to be processed has not yet exceeded 15
minutes today. 

Also, I personally have set up t at h for the first time today, and now
have 8 clients running across four different servers. (2 on the t at h
server itself, which is coping just fine. :)) I've uploaded 926,000
tiles today! (I think it's cool, anyway.) 

Over the past 24 hours, over 20GB of tiles have been processed and
stored, and at 700 tilesets an hour, that number is only going to
increase as time goes on.

At the current rate, I believe we'll exhaust the current 'pending' queue
sometime in the next 12-18 hours.
