Those are both pretty broad questions. I can't actually give an answer to our total throughput, but that's a combination of many technologies, so it's difficult to say how much CCR affects it directly.

 

As to how it improved performance, it was used as a part of a rearchtecture that happened concurrently with the site growing in size many times over. Since our load increased dramatically during the time period we were implementing it, and its use came along with other changes in our middle tier, there really isn't an apples to apples comparison that can be made.

 

I apologize for the non-answers here, but if you have more specific questions, I can try to address them!
