Hi,<div><br></div><div>I&#39;ve merged the new parallel I/O manager that Andreas Voellmy and Kazu Yamamoto have been working on. The new parallel I/O manager scales much better than the current one*: the number of requests per second scales almost linearly up to 32 cores I believe. Perhaps Andreas could post the numbers.</div>

<div><br></div><div>If you see any bugs that you think are related to the new I/O manager, please let Andreas and Kazu know.</div><div><br></div><div>* The current one (which replaced an even earlier one) scaled well in the number of open file descriptors and performed better than the I/O manager it replaced, but it didn&#39;t scale well to multiple cores.</div>

<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Johan</div><div><br></div>
