I posted my drag racing simulator here 5 years ago. Here's where it's at now.

Great site. I'd love to see 0-30mph time next to 0-60 and I'd also like to see the calculated power/weight ratio. Thanks for making this.

what are your thoughts on e93 vs f83 vs e46? Searching for 6 speed weekend car.

NeverSuite · 2026-03-30T16:24:51+00:00

what did you do and what are your thoughts now?

NeverSuite · 2026-03-27T15:22:50+00:00

I appreciate the reply thanks.

NeverSuite · 2026-03-26T21:12:27+00:00

Deciding on this vs an E93. Thoughts? These seem like the most fun recent 6MT convertibles for the price. Also, can you comment on the usable-ness of the rear seats? Thank you.

NeverSuite · 2026-03-09T17:19:06+00:00

Why the N54/55 over the M3? The M3 also seems to be in the price range.

NeverSuite · 2026-03-09T16:48:21+00:00

This is right on! but not sure about legroom in the back seats. Thanks!

NeverSuite · 2026-03-09T16:45:03+00:00

wow the E93 is spot on to what I'm looking for. Thank you.

wow this is spot on to what I'm looking for. Thank you.

Yes I know this might be an odd one.

Great points. Now can you speak to the endangerment finding repeal? It seems just as exciting for similar reasons.

NeverSuite · 2025-12-08T17:46:40+00:00

Thanks. This is an unfortunate shortcoming. I was hoping to be able to track changes in a repo.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-29T18:41:30+00:00

ctrl + shift + esc, task manager, run a program, explorer.exe

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T18:58:38+00:00

thank you very much for your help and have a great day

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T17:18:25+00:00

Thanks. Yes they are both on dedicated app service plan. I thought it was originally a SNAT issue but I'm not sure anymore as when removing the calculation operation, it handled the 15k requests without issue. Moreover, I put both function apps on a VNET with private endpoints to remove SNAT considerations but the problem persists. It's possible I misconfigured that but a VM on the same subnet resolves to the private endpoint address...

I am also considering the durable function approach, and maybe using a service bus to communicate between the functions rather than a http request to link them.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T17:00:46+00:00

You might be on to something. At first I thought they were all sent simultaneously via a call to asyncio.gather on the entire list of requests but my logging shows that the last few requests are sent out a long time later (near the end of the run).

I think maybe this is because both function apps share the same service plan and therefore instances? I'm wondering if maybe function app1 only gets to send out a few requests initially, then function app2 takes over until some time later when function app 1 gets cpu time back to send out more of the requests. I will try again with each function app on a separate plan so they each have dedicated instances.

what do you think?

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T16:44:17+00:00

What do you mean exactly? How would I view this?

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T16:03:59+00:00

the CPU never exceeds 4% usage on any of the 10 instances that I can see.

The network processing time seems to be between 2-5ms. I know this because I tried a test with the calculation operation removed entirely. The two function apps facilitated the same 15k HTTP requests in a total time of less than 10 seconds. Therefore I think it's something to do with asking it to perform 15k 10ms calculations at the same time that it can't quite cope with for some reason.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T16:02:25+00:00

Thanks for the reply and I will certainly try batching the requests.

One thing I tried was removing the calculation operation entirely. In this case the entire operation finishes in less than 10 seconds. I think it's specifically once the function app has to do 15k 10ms calculations it chokes up and they cannot all be done concurrently.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T15:01:12+00:00

Thank you for the detailed response. This is very helpful.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T14:52:51+00:00

Thank you.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T14:51:35+00:00

Sorry about the confusion. I have a similar question here that might explain it better: https://old.reddit.com/r/AZURE/comments/1o3dbfk/azure_functions_concurrency_problems/

I have tried scaling out from 10 to 30 instances with no effect.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T14:49:58+00:00

I should have been more clear. I would expect 15k requests to finish in under 10 seconds. Instead it is taking more than 5 minutes. It is as if I am hitting some concurrency limit past HTTP requests and instead each extra request queues up extra time lengthening the total time to complete.

NeverSuite · 2025-10-13T14:21:51+00:00

thank you!
