[FLASH-USERS] flash network effects

[Brock Palen]

What really affects how many nodes a flash run can use?
Also the notion that flash 'scales to hundreds of cpus' does that  
only apply to fast low latency networks.  Going from just 1 to 2  
nodes (8 to 16 cpus)i see system time jump to 50% of cpu time.

Do uses use gig-e at all? This is all we have avilable right now.   
Any tricks for getting flash to run well on gig-e ?
