note chromatic <blockquote><em>If slashdot could seperate out say, it's front page logic from its comment logic, then the front page will always be speedy and the comments section be its relative speed.</em></blockquote> <p>That's exactly what Slashdot does by serving a static HTML file to anonymous users. No RPC necessary, unless you count the NFS directory shared between all web heads (hidden behind a load balancer) as RPC. It's out of process, so I say it's not.</p> 300894 301072
