There's an interesting post here about block propagation times: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=88302.msg975343#msg975343

Lukes preview functionality would also be useful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
