I don't know if IBM's GridFS does any better with the latency, but it certainly scales a lot better but the barrier for adoption is $$$. It costs $$$ and it costs a lot more $$$ to train up and hire the SAs to run it. There are other options like AFS too, but people tend to be put off by the learning curve and the fact it's an extra rather than something that is packaged with the OS.
Do you happen to have links to GridFS and other systems you mentioned? cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
