[Fixed] server very slow

[EdeKowalski]

In the last days it seems that the server is very slow, it needs time to open a game (connecting...) and then you have to repeat and "refresh" nearly every move you have made...

Yes, I've had several reports of such problems recently. For better or worse, it seems to work fine for me. That makes it difficult to debug.

I have just now made a change that might help. Though it might require other people loading the match page again. Let me know how it seems today.

Ok - will keep an eye on it the next hours...

[EdeKowalski]

Seems that its now better...

I think this was mostly due to sending email directly from my server. Even though "top" wasn't showing much CPU usage, things were unresponsive. My theory is that sending emails was making blocking system calls that were waiting on network responses, not using CPU.

Now that I'm sending emails via Amazon and boto3, the server hasn't seemed to go into a state of unresponsiveness again that I've noticed.

I'll marked this as fixed.
