Try to handle multiple connections better. The session database is a hot spot. When multiple requests (e.g. 20) come in at the same time session database contention can get great. The original code didn't retry session database access when the open failed. This resulted in errors at the client. The second pass delayed 0.01 seconds and retried. It was better but we still had multiple second stalls. I think the first request got in, everybody else backed up and then retried at the same time. Again they stepped on each other. With logging I would see many counters go all the way to low single digits or to -1 indicating falure. This pass uses randomint to generate delays from 0-.125 seconds in 5ms increments. This performs better in testing. I rarely saw a counter less than 13 (2 failed retries). Current logging starts after 6 failures and counts down until success or failure.

Debugging Aids
--------------

Try turning on logging of DEBUG level messages. This may be done a number
of ways, depending on what it is you're testing:

1. If you're testing the database unit tests, then set the environment
   variable ``LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG``. This may be done like so:

    LOGGING_LEVEL=DEBUG python -m pytest test/

   This variable replaces the older HYPERDBDEBUG environment var.

2. If you're testing a particular tracker, then set the logging level in
   your tracker's ``config.ini``.

SENDMAILDEBUG
=============

Set to a filename and roundup will write each email message
that it sends to that file instead to the internet. 
This environment variable is independent of the python -O flag.
