Speaking for the 1.6 branch: Yes, latency is important. But it's the slowest slave that counts, so adding one that is faster than the currently slowest one is no problem IMO. At least until it becomes the slowest one after a while... Throughput is generally helpful too. It reduces the extra latency incurred by mass submissions/rebases. Those should have become rare now though, since 1.6 is no longer a Windows target. > I'm concerned about RHEL5 being neglected because it doesn't appear in gerrit. For the stable branch, EL5 is hardly in danger of being neglected. Master seems a different story though. -- Stephan Wiesand DESY -DV- Platanenenallee 6 15738 Zeuthen, Germany _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
