 ease often" to an extreme - on a normal day there are 10  full deploymen
 ts of the site to our servers. This session discusses why this rate of c
 hange works so well, and the culture and technology needed to make it po
 ssible.

SUMMARY:Best I/O is No I/O
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Frank Mashraqi (Opportunities). Disk I/O adds m
 ost to the latency of an application. For many MySQL based sites, perfor
 mance problems become extremely painful when in addition to overnight gr
 owth, the data set fails to fit in the memory. Sharding strategies can b
 e very difficult to implement overnight. Quick wins can be secured by op
 timizing data based on application access patterns & making working data
  sets fit in the memory.

SUMMARY:Light Speed Comet: Practical HTTP Push Scalability
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Michael Carter (Orbited). This session provides
  an in-depth discussion of the challenges facing large-scale Comet appli
 cations, such as Meebo, Gmail, and Facebook's chat. We discuss both serv

  the details, and then analyze real-world benchmarks to compare the perf
 ormance and trace-offs of various techniques in each browser.

SUMMARY:High Performance at Massive Scale - Lessons Learned at Facebook
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Robert Johnson (Facebook). At Facebook we serve
  billions of personalized pages every day, each of them computed from hu

 ifty million data requests per second against a dataset of over 50TB. Ma
 king every page fast in this environment is a serious challenge, and I'l
 l be sharing some of the lessons we've learned trying to accomplish it.
