This is incorrect. The node has numerous major network level problems at
the moment - inserting a file on one node at HTL 25 and then getting a
DataNotFound at HTL 25 on another node, is not a good sign. Mostly this
is due to growing pains and old versions of the node though, hopefully.

Eventually, we may make fred use nonblocking I/O; this will drastically
reduce the number of threads needed, but it will be a lot of work and it
is not a major priority because there are easier things with a bigger
impact to do first.
