Github user feynmanliang commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/7166#issuecomment-118238218 I did some [perf testing](https://gist.github.com/feynmanliang/70d79c23dffc828939ec) and it shows that distributing the Gaussians does yield a significant improvement in performance when the number of clusters and dimensionality of the data is sufficiently large (>30 dimensions, >10 clusters). In particular, the "typical" use case of 40 dimensions and 10k clusters gains about 15 seconds in runtime when distributing the Gaussians.
