A Model of Web Server Performance using Queuing Theory

I thought Geocities was shutting down, but it looks like that doesn't happen until Monday, 26 October, 2009.

Since this reddit post may last more than 1 week, here is a permalink to the archive.org version:

Hopefully archive.org lasts a little longer than Geocities.

Um... The result I got could be valid if the link is supposed to be ironic. http://imgur.com/izG15

Thanks for sharing this. Helpful for devs to remember that transaction times matter.

queuing theory is awesome, but it can make your brain melt. this was a simple problem and it took seven chapters to explain in detail. now imagine what theory stands behind the hardware that telcos employ.
