While shutting down terminal windows to the SN servers this morning, one of them had the create table syntax for the comments table still on screen. I gave it a read through just because it was there and noticed that there wasn't an index for the opid (top level comment id for speeding up entire thread pulling) column. So I got some before numbers, added one, and ran some After tests. Heavily commented stories show a 50-150% pages-per-second speed increase in threaded views. Low hanging fruit FTW.

Allergies have kept mine half plugged since my late teens. The sinus infection had them almost entirely clear. Weirdness doth abound in my general vicinity.
My rights don't end where your fear begins.
