Can you quantitatively state how slow the group server makes 
your applications?

Currently I'm working on a bit of re-write for the group server (name 
server really) in PVM. Other than the worry about performance, is there 
anything else users would like added to the collective group functions?

Also anybody interested in a group server for the CS2 implementation?

Graham.
