Hi, I am finally back from my holiday.

We used Magma + Seaside to demonstrate a configuration management application 
for 'the biggest mobile operator in the world'.

We simulated a lot of users >50 doing pretty complex things to graphs of tens 
of thousands of objects. The MagmaCollections meant that only a small subset 
was materialised at any one time.

We used 1:1 Seaside -> MagmaSession.

The slowest thing was allocating a new MagmaSession as it has to check the 
image for compatibility. I have some code somewhere which pre-allocates a 
session - too trivial to sumit.

As for Apache round robins, we had 5 computers reading from a single Magma 
server on a separate machine (not Seaside) We never managed to saturate the 
server. 

Let me know if you need help. I have primised Chris I will finish Lava this 
year !
