So hearing that torpy isn't caching mirodescriptors yet makes me think that it's a good bet for explaining our overload last weekend.
The fact that torpy doesn't use microdescriptors makes me think there's at least some other party involved here. Hopefully they can also improve their software, but it makes me wonder what that software is :/
