In repeated trials, the initial data fetch used to take about 1100ms.
In practice, it was often taking >2000ms, probably due to caching
effects. This commit cuts the time down to about 300ms in repeated
trials.
Note that the semantics are changed slightly in that we may no longer
get exactly 25000 messages. However, holes in the message_id
sequence are currently very rare or non-existent so this shouldn't be
a problem and we don't care about the exact number of messages
anyway.
I believe the problem was that the query planner was unable to
effectively use the LIMIT clause to figure out that only a small
subset of zephyr_message was going to be needed. Thus, it planned
for operating on the entire table and decided it could not use a more
efficient plan because work_mem, although large, would not be large
enough to execute the query over all of zephyr_message.
The original query was:
SELECT "zephyr_message"."id", "zephyr_message"."sender_id", "zephyr_message"."recipient_id", "zephyr_message"."subject", "zephyr_message"."content", "zephyr_message"."rendered_content", "zephyr_message"."rendered_content_version", "zephyr_message"."pub_date", "zephyr_message"."sending_client_id", "zephyr_userprofile"."id", "zephyr_userprofile"."password", "zephyr_userprofile"."last_login", "zephyr_userprofile"."email", "zephyr_userprofile"."is_staff", "zephyr_userprofile"."is_active", "zephyr_userprofile"."date_joined", "zephyr_userprofile"."full_name", "zephyr_userprofile"."short_name", "zephyr_userprofile"."pointer", "zephyr_userprofile"."last_pointer_updater", "zephyr_userprofile"."realm_id", "zephyr_userprofile"."api_key", "zephyr_userprofile"."enable_desktop_notifications", "zephyr_userprofile"."enter_sends", "zephyr_userprofile"."tutorial_status", "zephyr_realm"."id", "zephyr_realm"."domain", "zephyr_realm"."restricted_to_domain", "zephyr_recipient"."id", "zephyr_recipient"."type_id", "zephyr_recipient"."type", "zephyr_client"."id", "zephyr_client"."name" FROM "zephyr_message" INNER JOIN "zephyr_userprofile" ON ( "zephyr_message"."sender_id" = "zephyr_userprofile"."id" ) INNER JOIN "zephyr_realm" ON ( "zephyr_userprofile"."realm_id" = "zephyr_realm"."id" ) INNER JOIN "zephyr_recipient" ON ( "zephyr_message"."recipient_id" = "zephyr_recipient"."id" ) INNER JOIN "zephyr_client" ON ( "zephyr_message"."sending_client_id" = "zephyr_client"."id" ) ORDER BY "zephyr_message"."id" DESC LIMIT 25000;
with query plan:

In the new code, we do two queries:
SELECT "zephyr_message"."id" FROM "zephyr_message" ORDER BY "zephyr_message"."id" DESC LIMIT 1
followed by:
SELECT "zephyr_message"."id", "zephyr_message"."sender_id", "zephyr_message"."recipient_id", "zephyr_message"."subject", "zephyr_message"."content", "zephyr_message"."rendered_content", "zephyr_message"."rendered_content_version", "zephyr_message"."pub_date", "zephyr_message"."sending_client_id", "zephyr_userprofile"."id", "zephyr_userprofile"."password", "zephyr_userprofile"."last_login", "zephyr_userprofile"."email", "zephyr_userprofile"."is_staff", "zephyr_userprofile"."is_active", "zephyr_userprofile"."date_joined", "zephyr_userprofile"."full_name", "zephyr_userprofile"."short_name", "zephyr_userprofile"."pointer", "zephyr_userprofile"."last_pointer_updater", "zephyr_userprofile"."realm_id", "zephyr_userprofile"."api_key", "zephyr_userprofile"."enable_desktop_notifications", "zephyr_userprofile"."enter_sends", "zephyr_userprofile"."tutorial_status", "zephyr_realm"."id", "zephyr_realm"."domain", "zephyr_realm"."restricted_to_domain", "zephyr_recipient"."id", "zephyr_recipient"."type_id", "zephyr_recipient"."type", "zephyr_client"."id", "zephyr_client"."name" FROM "zephyr_message" INNER JOIN "zephyr_userprofile" ON ( "zephyr_message"."sender_id" = "zephyr_userprofile"."id" ) INNER JOIN "zephyr_realm" ON ( "zephyr_userprofile"."realm_id" = "zephyr_realm"."id" ) INNER JOIN "zephyr_recipient" ON ( "zephyr_message"."recipient_id" = "zephyr_recipient"."id" ) INNER JOIN "zephyr_client" ON ( "zephyr_message"."sending_client_id" = "zephyr_client"."id" ) WHERE "zephyr_message"."id" > 4941883

new query differs from the original only in that its ORDER BY and

When you create a stream that you'd previously created (then unsubscribed from),
it was possible to end up in the subscribers list twice. Once came from loading
the subscribers list from the backend, and once came from a bit of mark_subscribed
logic that only gets called if you've subscribed to that stream at least once before
in the current session.

Previously, our check for whether we needed to call load_old_messages
a second time on page load to get up to the present caused us to
basically always do such a call.

On my laptop, this saves about 80 milliseconds per 1000 messages
requested via get_old_messages queries. Since we only have one
memcached process and it does not run with special priority, this
might have significant impact on load during server restarts.

The internal format of 'message' had changed, so prior to this commit,
the tutorial was receiving (a) internally inconsistent, and (b)
not-what-it-expected versions of the message.

It's subtle, but the slice was in the wrong place and wasn't
actually truncating the stream name at all, so the client and
server disagreed about where the tutorial messages should go.
(It might be the case that we should accept the tutorial stream
name from the client directly, rather than computing it in two
places.)

If the system was waiting for you to reply and you replied 'exit', the
tutorial would stop -- but our thing that was waiting for you to reply
would continue waiting. It would eventually timeout and send you the
heartbroken "I didn't hear from you so I stopped waiting" message.
Chances are, you were unsubscribed so you didn't see it, but we
should still just not send it.

Timing out within the Twitter portion of the render causes the message
to still go through (without a preview). If we don't timeout here, it
causes the entire Markdown render to timeout, which rejects the
message in its entirety -- a far worse outcome.
