SpecWeb right now follows the run book very liberally - and there are certainly shortcuts you could take whilst staying within the run rules. If you want to I can dig out a list. Also - hack the conf to do short runs first ! You are going to find plenty of network, kernel and OS bottlenecks. It is for a good reason that those setups you find on the spec.org side are such massive beasts. If you clients are not on windows - you may want to talk to Sander Temme - Covalent had to hack them on FreeBSD to get the byte counts done reliably DW
