   @ricard I don't want to speak badly about his host: masto.host is very competent, and very good at what they do, but ultimately that is the cost of shared infra, I'm afraid.

   AFAIK @aral is running on a plan which provides him with 12 sidekiq threads, for $40 pcm.

   I'm on a VPS that costs me $14 per month, and is running 25 threads comfortably - so more than twice as 'fast'* for less than half the money.

   For $40 a month he could probably run a server that could sustain far more threads on dedicated hardware, but it would come at significant setup cost: Optimising sidekiq and Postgres for Mastodon is far from trivial, and that's part of what you pay for with a hosted service.

   *) Obviously speed is about more than the number of processes, so please don't take this too literally.

     @michael @ricard Yeah, Hugo is lovely. It’s just the shared architecture isn’t designed to cover the kind of load I’m putting onto it apparently.

     Interesting thread from Aral on the issues of #Mastodon with 32K followers and following 7K :mastodon:

     For 50€/month I thought you could have better performance.
