Comment on Building the worst Linux PC ever: 6 hours to boot Ubuntuparent

Please note what I said. I release interrupts after every byte READ/WRITTEN, so that the maximal delay to a refresh is the length of a single byte read/write. In case it wasn't clear, the only interrupt in use is the ram refresh interrupt. If it is masked, and triggers, it will execute the handler when it is unmasked. This means that even a loop on RAM read/write will not starve RAM of refreshes

I think there is extra throttling on brand-new accounts, to help keep spam under control. Once your account is a little older it will be less restricted.

Also: welcome, and thanks for joining the discussion!
