Geolocation is a process that, if done incorrectly, can cause a major strain on a device’s battery.

Why?
Rails servers have a limited amount of connections that they can maintain at one time because the web server (in most cases) is a single-thread and multi-processed. There is a set amount of "workers" that can handle connections, when those connections are tied up, any new connections will have to wait.
