RE: [Queue-developers] Call for co-authors on LISA paper

[Sam L. <sam...@an...>]

We'll be using Queue for a series of a few hundred non-interactive
postscript->pre-process->render_pnm->slicer->png processes; hoping to be
able to get a 10 fold increase of a sun E450.  Once we get over the protocol
problems with solaris we'll be able to provide you with real data on how
execution time scales as more nodes are added to the cluster.

Latency is not an issue for us however.
