[Spread-users] Slow receiver

[Jonathan Stanton]

Hi,

I don't have quite enough information to know what is going on. Generally
the latency of a single message send in Spread should be quite low. On
modern machines, maybe in the neighborhood of a few hundred microseconds
of work plus scheduling delays (switching between client, daemon, back to
client if run on one machine) of anywhere from a few milliseconds to 30
ms.

Can you provide us with your spread.conf configuration and some more 
information about how much the receiver is lagging (what the delay is) and 
the rough computer power? How are you timing the send time vs receive 
time? Are they on different machines? 

One note, although it isn't necessarily affecting your results, 
on most OS's sleeping for 1ms actually sleeps for 10+ms since 10 ms is the 
minimum scheduling delay. 

Cheers,

Jonathan
