So we just had it run.

And the numbers we got back were...

marginally better.

It wasn't like a night and day, like, oh my God, this thing is going to save us.

We found the savior of scaling.

No, nothing like that.

But what it did say was it changed the numbers in our P50s and our P90s.

Our P50s went down and our P90s went up, which meant we just had a

Which was enough of a signal for us to sit down and go, there's something here.

It could just be a better tool for us to be able to tune.

It could just be more cues helping us scale in some way or another.

But it was a signal that we said, we need to test a little bit more with this.

This isn't something we need to just walk away from.

Yeah, no, 100%.

We were definitely seeing that where it was these very slow paths that were blocking us were still the slow ones.

But the very quick paths, they just became quicker.

And there was a lot of differences in how UWSKI and Gradient were configured in those early load tests that I now know were silently masking different things about.

They were handling switching context differently, how thread management worked.

So the memory footprint was amazing.

little more stable in one while it correlated to workload better in the other.
