Well, don't take a -1 as a formal "no", it's an opinion based on experience of what works so far. Everyone here is, IMO, open to new experience. I think what you need to do is make a test bench that proves the case. Perhaps an EC2 instance with low virtual memory, or somesuch. Something people can play with. Then we can see before/after behaviour and it stops being a matter of philosophy, and becomes science. -Pieter _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
