I've tried this on the cluster here for a few days with mixed results. It looks like it's obeying the polling directive, in that the load is now intermittent. When it's on though, it's _really_ on - gam_server is more agressive about it than nautilus, plus nautilus still takes 50% of the other core (in a not-insubstantial test client machine) to digest gamin's input. I'll jack up the polling from the 20 seconds I first tried to a lot (say, 200 seconds), just to see if the problem scales. -- Alec Habig, University of Minnesota Duluth Physics Dept.
