"Many requests to the registry as the entire nation of India" per what time unit?

Approximately 3 new JS frameworks per hour.

Funny. Sounds like the expansion rate of the Javascript ecosystem.

I was a bit vague :-) India's about 10% of total requests on any given day. VSCode was 10% of requests for a couple of hours.

Doesn't matter, it's a comparison of request rates.

Requests over time where user in India ~= requests over time where user is a vs code user

How does the time unit make a difference? If they're making the same number of requests/second as India then they're also making the same number of requests/hour or requests/day, no?

There wasn't any time unit in the original statement, so it wasn't clear that the request per X from India was the same as the request per X from the IDE.
