-=head2 Early Maypole -> Catalyst porting (Jesse Sheidlower)
-
-The original version of the Oxford English Dictionary's
-Science Fiction web site, now at
-L<http://www.jessesword.com/sf>, was written as plain CGI
-scripts. (No, it's worse than that. It was written as .shtml
-pages, with the SSI shelling out to a Perl script that
-generated HTML. And yes, this was written after 1996. So sue
-me.) While this was mostly satisfactory at one time, as the
-site grew there were very many problems introduced by this
-system. I decided to upgrade it to a modern system based on
-L<Maypole> and L<Template Toolkit|Template>. Among the
-user-visible features added were proper paging of the result
-sets, a search function, and the linking in of the OED's
-massive citation database to show all the quotations collected
-by the OED for each term. Back-end features included a
-mod_perl based framework, an extensible OO structure, proper
-templating, and the like.
-
-After some desultory work - I have a day job - a perfectly
-working Maypole-based system was ready. However, at this point
-development on Catalyst was going strong, and it was clearly
-the wave of the future for Perl-based MVC frameworks. Also,
-I was irritated by some features of Maypole, in particular its
-habit of setting up an enormous amount of structures for you
-regardless of whether they were needed. Since I was trying to
-optimize this application, I wasn't thrilled with the idea of
-having literally dozens of unneeded database calls on every
-request; it wasn't easy to switch this off without overriding
-large swathes of Maypole.
-
-So I delayed the launch of the new site to port it to
-Catalyst.  This took less than a day. My initial benchmarks
-showed a remarkable speed increase, in the range of 100-250%,
-depending on the type of request. (For example, on my
-development server, I had been getting 16 pages/second under
-Maypole for a "view" page that displayed a single full record;
-under Catalyst this jumped to 57 pages/second.) After a week
-or so of public beta testing, I shifted the entire site to the
-new system, e-mailed Slashdot, and waited for the onslaught.
-
-When it hit Slashdot, things held up very nicely. (Some early
-error pages, embarrassingly pointed out by a Slashdot poster,
-were in fact caused by a lack of available MySQL connections,
-for which misconfiguration the DB admin was harshly
-criticized, rather than from any app-specific failings.) In
-the hours after slashdotting, the app averaged about 3,000
-pages/hour, each representing a dynamic database-generated
-page; the total requests averaged about 30,000/hour. During
-this period the perceived speed of the app was extremely
-snappy. After a small bump in the first minute, the load
-average on the server was less than 1.0 the whole time,
-usually under .3. Other apps running on the server were also
-unaffected.
-
-The ease of use and speed of Catalyst contributed greatly
-to the success of this site.
