Problems with links to Percona's blog in Scalability ebook
The bit.ly links in the footnote on page 14 have spurious slashes after "kernel" that break them.
The context around these is also confusing -- it's unclear that they are meant to be about rising costs of queues. As I wrote to someone:
Thanks. I'll clarify the wording around that; they are not supposed to be about Little's Law, but about the service time inflation's cause. Those blog posts illustrate what's more likely the cause in a lot of single-server systems: longer queues increase costs, e.g. lots of threads queued on a mutex causes the cost of waking up the threads to increase in InnoDB's non-native mutex implementation.
