In from source installations you should always make the changes to the user config and NEVER to the base config to avoid breakages and merge conflicts. So for production you change/add configuration to `config/prod.secret.exs`. + +To add configuration to your config file, you can copy it from the base config. The latest version of it can be viewed [here](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs).

The BEAM VM is highly optimized for latency, but this has drawbacks in environments without dedicated hardware. One of the tricks used by the BEAM VM is [busy waiting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busy_waiting). This allows the application to pretend to be busy working so the OS kernel does not pause the application process and switch to another process waiting for the CPU to execute its workload. It does this by spinning for a period of time which inflates the apparent CPU usage of the application so it is immediately ready to execute another task. This can be observed with utilities like **top(1)** which will show consistently high CPU usage for the process. Switching between procesess is a rather expensive operation and also clears CPU caches further affecting latency and performance. The goal of busy waiting is to avoid this penalty. + +This strategy is very successful in making a performant and responsive application, but is not desirable on Virtual Machines or hardware with few CPU cores. Pleroma instances are often deployed on the same server as the required PostgreSQL database which can lead to situations where the Pleroma application is holding the CPU in a busy-wait loop and as a result the database cannot process requests in a timely manner. The fewer CPUs available, the more this problem is exacerbated. The latency is further amplified by the OS being installed on a Virtual Machine as the Hypervisor uses CPU time-slicing to pause the entire OS and switch between other tasks. + +More adventurous admins can be creative with CPU affinity (e.g., *taskset* for Linux and *cpuset* on FreeBSD) to pin processes to specific CPUs and eliminate much of this contention. The most important advice is to run as few processes as possible on your server to achieve the best performance. Even idle background processes can occasionally create [software interrupts](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrupt) and take attention away from the executing process creating latency spikes and invalidation of the CPU caches as they must be cleared when switching between processes for security. + +Please only change these settings if you are experiencing issues or really know what you are doing.
