I was actually considering (perhaps) using Paxos in combination with a
DHT of some sort. I don't see how a DHT can provide an election or
lease service, or even provide mutable state, so I don't think it
would suffice for the system I have in mind. However I still have a
lot of reading to do so I'm probably completely wrong on all points.

Thanks, I started reading that paper last night but hadn't realized it
included performance results. I was somewhat discouraged after seeing
"P2's lack of concurrency control and well defined execution semantics
provided a source difficult bugs and race conditions, and we remain
uncertain as to wether or not our implementation is robust" in the
abstract and moved on.
