Planetarion... Now that's a blast from the past. It's still running in some form, but we pulled out many years ago after failing with a pay-to-play model. Was loads of fun though, and I'm still impressed with how many dynamic pages we were able to push without using any form of caching, on 6 normal desktop servers. Spinner is still alive and running http://www.managerleague.com (the site with traffic in my glTail movie). Haha.. Planetarion… Now that’s a blast from the past.

I think I'd change the first line of Element#add_activity to something like: @pending.push Item.new(message, size, @color, type) if( type != 3 && rand(100) < 2) to show just a percentage of the dots while still keeping the stats.

Thanks for the tip. But even with that off, we quickly drop bellow 1 FPS. Activities is >80,000 right now, and the site is in its lowest usage right now. Dropping the X/O helps quite a bit.

Also, add a :type => 3 to some of the server.add_activity calls, to disable the blob and just get the statistics.

Could I ask how many activities were shown per frame? Would it even be possible to render at a decent framerate in C? That’s just insane. Could I ask how many activities were shown per frame?
