This is not a troll post I promise.
 
I ask why it was chosen as a backend storage system?
 
Most web hosts do not natively support it, there are not "production-ready" management or backup tools available for it, as its primarily a data structure server and not a database in the traditional sense.
 
Mysql, is supported everywhere PHP is, it has so many tools to manage and backup databases, surely it would make sense.
 
Redis is fast but how many records are you going be storing, a few 1000 at most, Mysql would laugh at that!

A big potential cause for server lag is the mixing of sleep/uisleep. As we all know sleep suffers when the server slows down, were as uiSleep is based on the system and doesnt suffer the same effect. Therefore having large sleeps WILL get even slower as the server runs out of steam. Not really sure why any would use sleep now a days, unless the code was borrowed from elsewhere.
