It is kludgy to say the least if you're inserting data into Fred from another machine. The data sent back and forth over the wire (even through localhost) is simply unecessary and wasteful. Even though most inserts are sent to localhost, inserts theoretically can occur over a group of nodes all simultaneously (I think fishtools does this). Also, using Fred to do FEC encoding means Fred is now extremely busy, meaning I cannot FEC encode another file at the same time with the same node. By moving the encoding offline, in the long run inserts will be faster. -- Jay Oliveri "In the land of the blind, GnuPG ID: 0x5AA5DD54 the one-eyed man is king."
