What intrigues me is that yesterday we have triple more volume and no lag.
That maybe because what Gox said is truth: people are buying right now yet they didn't cancel their orders at lower prices, so the number of checks Gox needs to execute goes up multi-fold. In a panic sell like yesterday people would not have expected to have their orders at higher prices filled so they simply cancel them(besides those that are backed up with funds).
With proper design, those checks far outside the center would not even be being compared against. I also suspect that the trading engine is doing more than just trading. Kind-of a no-no.
I can't even get on right now. Not even the homepage. It's a circus.
