The rt_testing server requests a new title from the database each time a client asks for one, wrapping the request in a transaction to ensure no other client gets the same title. This creates a lot of contention on the MySQL server due to a high amount of rolledback transactions. A better way to do this would be to request titles from the database in batches (of 50 was proposed).
