    Maybe some overload caused by a process having to dig deeper to find best/top posts?

          You’d be surprised how much critical infrastructure was implemented through trial and error and has just been left like that for years…

            Anything less than 99% of infrastructure working that way would be surprising. Everything is held together with scotch tape and scotch whisky.
