    The "pinging server to prevent 90k" seems like confirmation bias. Just because I've never been attacked by a herd of elephants doesn't mean that this "magic" rock I keep on my desk is what prevents it.

    It may be. With that said I'm a performance engineer and I'm 90% sure the root of the 90k problems is the SE servers have no tolerance for packet loss or network delay. In my case I know somewhere near Canada there is a hop which is not optimal. And keeping a ping going appears to help keep the connection alive. I could be wrong but in practice this has helped.
