Benedict commented on CASSANDRA-7045:
-------------------------------------
Yeah, [Kilim|http://www.malhar.net/sriram/kilim/] took my eye recently as well.
It's quite a bit more involved as an undertaking, though, as we'd probably need
to transform the whole pipeline.

> We can (maybe) optimise the threading model for network consumers: since we
> generally process very small messages (200 bytes not at all implausible), the
> thread signalling costs on the processing thread can actually dramatically
> impede throughput. In general it costs ~10micros to signal (and passing the
> message to another thread for processing in the current model requires
> signalling). For 200-byte messages this caps our throughput at 20MB/s.
