Hi Nick,

Yeah, I am seeing decreased throughput with 2 workers/node as well as
instability where communcation exceptions are thrown and workers restart.
I need to confirm if the communcation  exceptions are the root exception(s)
or are they a manifestation. Gonna pour through some logs this afternoon. :)
