Hi, Paul I must say, this is eerily appropo. I've just sent a request for Wombat last week as I was planning to have my group start looking at the performance of UCX OSC on IB. We are most interested in ensuring UCX OSC MT performs well on Wombat. The bitbucket you're referencing; is this the source code? Can we build and run it?
