Load, save and release

Live Roblox servers

Each run loads five fresh profiles, saves each, releases each after a change, loads them again and releases them again, with the steps on one key at least 8 seconds apart. Times are seconds from calling the library until its DataStore request finished.

Load, new profile

TimeSeconds per sample. The median, lowest and highest, the samples and how many failed.

Median (the upright tick) and min to max of every sample (the bar). Medians less than one timing step (16.7 ms (1/60 s)) apart are ties.

DataStore requestsRequests the library sent for the key during the step, retries included, as the bench's stand-in for DataStoreService counted them.

Requests per sample, by method. A range means the count varied between samples. 2 methods used.

Server hops

Live Roblox servers

Two Luau Execution tasks at once play the old and the new server. The old server loads a profile, saves 777, waits 8 seconds, then changes it to 888 (999 when it keeps the profile) without saving. Times are seconds from the new server's load call until it has the data.

Old server releases

The old server releases when the new one starts loading, the way a server releases when a player leaves for another one.

Saw the final saveHops in which the new server saw 888, the old server's last change.

Old server keeps it

The old server never releases on its own. 999 means the library got it to hand the profile over with its last change, 777 means the new server went ahead without it.

Throttling

Live Roblox servers

A burst of 160 or 161 UpdateAsync calls on throwaway keys uses up the server's request budget, then the library loads, saves and releases one profile back to back. One sample per run.

Load
