Sorry, shorthand common in my neck of the woods. Used for any Thing per Your Favorite Time Unit, measured logarithmically. In this case, requests-per-second.

"Soak a few zeros" for example going from 1,000 calls per second to 1,000,000 calls per second.
Could you write out deelowe's quoted sentence, above, as clearly as you're able?
Troy's goal is to get this used by a lot of people with a large number of requests per second (so, a number with a lot of zeros in it)
Learning 'soak a few zeros' is more valuable to me than the whole rest of this thread. I doubt I'll ever use it, but I like it.
