I don't know the answer to that, I only have guesses.

But one mistake we make over and over is that we write code that just does its best to answer questions as quickly as possible. And when those questions show up 10x as quickly as they have any other time in our company history, they either just plug right along or maybe throw an error.

Someone shouldn't be able to empty a billion dollars out of an exchange in 10 minutes, unless they do $250B in daily traffic. And I suspect most of them can be, and in even less time than that.
