Backend Changes to Improve Service Response Speed

Given the massive spike in traffic recently, I just back-ported a significant code change from the new Cligs system to the current one. The change means that the server will forward cligs much (much!) more quickly while at the same time lower system resources. The upshot is hopefully a more stable service handling more traffic.

As this is a significant change, I would like you to be vigilant for any bugs or oddities please. I have been testing it all morning and it’s worked beautifully in the tests, but you never know. In particular, the biggest potential source of bugs is when editing cligs, although that got the most testing and came up clean.

The new system is approaching feature partiy (well, in some areas it is already a lot better than the current one) and will hopefully be finished soon.

For the technically inclined: What’s the update? A much better caching layer that blows the old one out of the water.
