Just a brief note to mention we've launched. http://www.redlightgreen.com
The performance isn't as snappy as we want, and we've got a list of possible problems and solutions: IO saturation on the fiber channel connecting the DB2 database and the raid storage, garbage collection in the java virtual machine that runs the search engine, some improvements in the design of some of the data tables.... In the mean time we may put an interstitial "Please wait" message in.
Just a favor -- if you register, please note in your "Major" or field of study "tunabreath" or "blogger" or "information science." We've got a pretty strict privacy policy in place, so this is one of the few items that will be recorded. It'd just be nice to know.
Thanks!
