+### Details
+
+- System: Hetzner CCX41 VPS (16 dedicated vCPUs, Skylake)
+- OS: Debian 10, kernel 4.19.0-8-amd64
+- aquatic commit: 61841fff
+- opentracker also has a single threaded event mode. It didn't perform as well (143k responses/second) as blocking single-threaded mode.
+
+Default settings were used, except that:
+- load test duration = 120 seconds
+- load test multiple_client_ips = true
+- load test worker settings were tuned for best results for each trackers
+- aquatic request_workers was always = 1, only socket_workers setting was raised. Number in table corresponds to sum of both values
+
 ## Trivia
 
 The tracker is called aquatic because it thrives under a torrent of bits ;-)

 ## aquatic
 * mio: set oneshot for epoll and kqueue?
-* Actually improving performance with more threads seems not to work too well
 * Handle Ipv4 and Ipv6 peers. Probably split torrent state. Ipv4 peers
   can't make use of Ipv6 ones. Ipv6 ones may or may note be able to make
   use of Ipv4 ones, I have to check.
