Soon, we may add visuals to this.\n\n[source]: https://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/death_row/dr_executed_offenders.html\n[greg]: https://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/death_row/dr_info/russeaugregory.html\n[lester]: https://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/death_row/dr_info/bowerlester.jpg\n\n## Setup\n\n- Install [Python 3.4](http://continuum.io/downloads#py34)\n- Run `pip install aiohttp`\n- Run `python scrape.py`. The results are in `deathrow.csv`.\n\n## Performance notes\n\n[asyncio][asyncio] is beautiful. You can fire 1,000 HTTP requests without\nblinking an eye. (I would hesitate to fire 1,000 processes, or even threads.)\nOf course, we hit diminishing returns well before then. With 2 requests at a\ntime, it takes about 5.5 minutes. With 50, it takes just half a minute. Beyond\nthat, the speed-up is negligible (probably because bandwidth, not latency,\nbecomes the constraint. After all, we *are* downloading around 5MB, and doing\na bit of lxml processing on top of it.)\n\n[asyncio]: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html\n\n      2:   330s\n      5:   139s\n     10:    75s\n     50:    33s\n    100:    26s\n    200:    26s\n\nThe X-axis shows the number of concurrent GET requests.
