gollark: Hmm, do these peaks on my CPU usage graph correspond to epicbot markov utilization?
gollark: The performance is *wildly* worse on my server for no apparent reason.
gollark: I "improved" it and now it's fast on my local machine but slow on the server, hm. I bet it's an IO issue somehow.
gollark: Apparently Epicbot is somewhere where people are actually active because wow there are a lot of concurrent "loading" messages.
gollark: Huh, Epicbot includes what seems like a moderately powerful insult generation DSL.
