[Spread-users] Initial implementation of XMLRPC over Spread

[Yair Amir]

Hi G.P.,

I have a question: what property of a SAFE message do you need that
AGREED message does not give you? The reason for me asking is that for
many usages AGREED message is fine. Agreed message incurs aprx.
1/4 to 1/3 of the latency of a SAFE message.

        Cheers,

        :) Yair.
