This worked fine for us for a year or so.

Now, I sometimes need to change stuff when there are a couple thousand online visitors on one of our sites. Their requests gang up on middlewares and causes duplicate compilations. We already have reverse proxy servers to keep duplicate requests waiting for the first one but that still leaks due to different browser capabilities and stuff.

Having everything prebuilt makes more sense at this point.




Just FYI (and anyone else listening): this is called "dog-piling" if you want to look around for solutions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_stampede
