I would finger the scheduler, at least partially. There's no magic in this world and my Erlang version does not fare much better. Erlang too uses a GC and when a lot of threads load all that data into memory things are bound to get nasty. The results for Erlang are more uniform, though. All the delays are all within 3-4s if I have 3s as the cut-off time and with GHC the delays are all over the place. Joel -- http://wagerlabs.com/
