Questions:
1) This is an OSS project. Why not just recruit a bunch of people on
PERFORMANCE and GENERAL to test the 4 different synch methods using real
databases? No test like reality, I say ....
2) Won't Jan's work on 7.5 memory and I/O management mean that we have to
re-evaluate synching anyway?
