While our indexing throughput is satisfying for the majority of production use cases we've seen, improving throughput is one of our top engineering priorities.

That being said, we've done thorough benchmarking around this and have found that, while waiting for a Tantivy commit does increase per-transaction time, both search and indexing times are stable as the number of small commits increases.

We do commit on every transaction. If there are lots of small transactions, this would indeed lead to many small commits, which Paul Masurel explains leads to higher segment merge times (see "Indexing Latency vs Throughput, search performance" in fulmicoton.com/posts/behold-…).

@lessin I find Calendly irritating but much less so when offered as an alternative to traditional scheduling options. e.g."Let's find time to chat, when are your availabillities? Or, if it's easier, here is my Calendly" sounds 100x better than "Please book time on my Calendly."

What if Chrome never used more than 0.3GB of RAM? Check out @whisthq

Hey Kyle, check out @whisthq, which we built to solve this exact problem.

We built @whisthq to help silence the horror and shame your computer's battery and fan experience when you have all those tabs open :)

We built @whisthq to never use more than 300MB of RAM, no matter how many tabs you have open.

We built @whisthq to use 10x less memory and energy than Chrome!

We built @whisthq to be a Chrome browser that uses 10x less memory than Chrome by offloading tabs to the cloud.

We built @whisthq to never slow down your computer no matter how many tabs you have open by offloading tabs to the cloud.

Check out @whisthq -- we're building a faster version of Chrome that uses 10x less power and memory.

We built @whisthq to use 5-10x less energy and memory than Chrome, so your computer's fans won't even need to turn on.

@whisthq is building a Chrome browser that uses 5-10x less battery life and memory.

At @whisthq we're building a version of Chrome that uses 5-10x less battery than Chrome by moving expensive computation and rendering to the cloud
