I set 60 clients to aggressively inserting into a 0.7.0beta2 standard keyspace overnight. This morning, its heap usage is maxed, it's using 400% CPU (which is a lot less than the box has, so that's OK), and it's making progress very... very... slowly. The timestamps near the end the commit logs tell the tale. Help?
PS: This is not the 128G machine - this is the 72G machine, and it seemed to work great until 3:40am.
