Just one thought - is it still possible to use the multi-thread one, or did you really replace it? I am asking because I remember when I was working on clusters, that for some solution process migration works flawless, but process migration due to shared memory is not implemented on some cluster platforms (that was the case for mosix when I last used it).
About the frequency of postings here, obviously most discussion moved to the web-based forums. I also prefer mailing lists, but I am aware that today web-forums are easier to find and use by many. Would be great to link the mailing list and the forums, of course...
