Conclusions from Last Time
• High-frequency SELECTs are killing us
![Page 17: IT Briefing Agenda 9/15/05](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813a55550346895da24ced/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Hypothesis
• When clients check for new email they send a SELECT
• (They should send a NOOP)• Users are setting their clients to
check for email every minute
![Page 18: IT Briefing Agenda 9/15/05](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56813a55550346895da24ced/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Final Notes
• Webmail checks every five minutes
(and does use SELECT)• Some clients have a drop-down
menu to select this time (1-min, 5-min, etc.)

Our Plea
• See if your users are polling < 5 min
• 10 min is better• You can always manually check
for new email• Help them change their polling
time if needed

Something Funny
• A funny thing happened on the way to the user-migration fest...
• A familiar name showed up

New Data
• Webmail does a SELECT every five minutes
• But does an EXAMINE as soon as possible after the SELECT
