One can rebuild the user file and restart the node. All is then well for a while. I believe I have seen it work for more than one week, but within another week or two it will revert to an empty user file. It MAY be related to spawned jobs which write to the user file thus corrupting the user file, but not every time and, in any case, I can't see any spawn jobs that might do a write. I am reluctant to put in file spin locks but it may become necessary. It MIGHT be memory usage, but there is no objective evidence for a lack thereof.<br />
<br />
Mike seems to have the only instance of "standard" (i.e. non-mojo) DXSpider that can (at least for a time) support 1000+ users on quite a lowly single processor GCloud instance - and seemingly with room for many more. As you know Ian, us lesser mortals start to see serious CPU usage above about 4-500 users (depending on processor). And worse, it appears that the mojo branch runs like a snail on mogodon on an identical instance in the same data centre. Which is the exact opposite of anyone else's experience.<br />
<br />
Mike is unwilling to run his node on dedicated hardware for perfectly reasonable reasons. But otherwise, I am stumped.<br />
