smaller buffers
report more often
unlock asap
first pass at using redis
use an int
uint64 all the way down
1/2 the computations
flush more frequently
slow it down
don't do redis with a lock
instrument push
perhaps these things cost time
only push
back to the real world
reduce calls the string
readability
use redis url
try doing less
maybe parsing vals is taking a long time
more idle
