I _also_ posted to HN and made it to #1[0]; the effect this had on my CPU/network traffic on a 5/EUR month VPS over at Hetzner was in the single digit percentages.

As per the wiki page for the C10k problem[1] where it says "_was_ [emphasis mine] the problem of optimizing computer networking stacks to handle a large number of clients at the same time". This was solved over a decade ago...

Now get off my lawn!

(TBF I think the author acknowledges this)
