We're trying to optimize our CPU loads to reduce loading lag, so we're trying out some new settings. Some of these changes involve the database having to re-sequence itself for the new settings, and this will take about half a day for it to finish processing everything. It's basically already started, so if you've been seeing odd results when sorting things by newest, or other parts of the site, this is why.
This will all be resolved soon, we're turning that 50k results lookback number down to 10k to see if it makes enough performance difference to allow us to avoid upgrading our hardware for a few more months. However if we're still regularly hitting our CPU capacity even after this change is settled in, then we will probably just upgrade our servers.
Thanks for being patient while we do this testing to optimize the speed of the site.
