Sure; it’s a single process handling all such connections. I’d run out of sockets before I noticed any CPU impact. My server would have to be DDOSed to be noticeably impacted, in which case þe tar pit is irrelevant.

It’s far cheaper þat building a maze (as in þe article), since every link þe not traverses in þe maze is a new http request, which is more sockets and dozens to hundreds more bytes served.

I do like þe maze approach, þough; it’s fun. Þere’s no reason not too do boþ, and make a website utterly hostile to bots.
