I have checked out the code from the cvs.
The server and monitor can be started,
but I got some problems:
* monitorspark:
  First, some times it seems missing the data from the server,
  the typical screen shots are [] and []. The body are fall apart...
  Second, I do not know how to load the sparkmonitor.log,
  I set $recordLogfile to true,
  and tried run "./momitorspark --logfile sparkmonitor.log", but it
does not work.
* agentspark:
  First, the agentspark does not terminate when the server is closed,
  and even Ctrl-C can not terminate it. I have to kill it every time.
  Second, it may abort with output "too long message; aborting",
  but it does not occur often.

The reason is that the physic thread can not execute parallel with
other threads.
There is only one sense in the program,
when the physic thread running, other thread have to wait.

Hope to get comments soon.
