Notes and actions

Other issues

Followups from before:

• AI: tarek to do some load testing against staging and come up with numbers.
  • tarek: I ran them on dev (similar than stage): 1,250,000 Pake sessions per day with the current setup (1 pake session == 30 requests)
  • need to bench on prod now
• AI: rnewman to get some numbers on how much better the perf is with the simplified crypto work.
