Quick Note, we are DEFINATELY spiking usage on the front end. I’ve seen load average spikes over 15.0 which means, 15 cores worth of usage basically. But it only has 3 real cores, and 3 fake cores (6 total threads). It’s been recovering mostly on it’s own, but I’m afraid with using PHP56 we WILL need the 2nd front end.
HHVM and PHP7 do a lot of redudant call optimizaions which is what makes it MUCH leaner process wise.
