Also why so lackluster, You should do matches on the whole site for reviewers who have reviewed the books you have Reviewed..."I so agree. I want to find my book twins, people who love the same books as I do. Currently, I wade through readers piecemeal and have never found anyone who is more than 15% compatible.
Help!
I understand computing capacity may be an issue here.
If it is, then maybe make it a payed service. One that has a waiting list and runs in the downtimes, only serving as much requests as can be serviced in the downtime, while the pay is used to vamp up your hardware.

I tried to do a pitch to Mark Cuban many years ago when he supposedly was accepting pitches from nobodies. About a site that would have blew Facebook away before anyone heard about facebook, And a big part of it was finding people(Thru ratings) that thought/felt the same way you do and how much buying power that would be. If he read it, he just didn't get it. The power of finding your book or music, movie etc Twin is second to NONE!!! There are like minded people out there and if and when a business decides to get them together, Then they will see how recommendations turn into guaranteed sales!!!
Match.com does that 28 point or whatever thing they say on their commercial to find like minded people. On this site alone people show what they like and dislike or are lukewarm about on hundreds of books. The power of finding someone who likes 90% or more of what you like is invaluable in both Time and Money.
When I saw this on here 5 years ago, I thought it would lead to that magical entertainment guardian angel twin whispering great advice in our ears,
Not yet but somebody will do it, and it will replace every algorithm and review site if they do it big enough.
Now thats getting people who should be together from the list of Tens of THOUSANDS.
