Thanks guys, and thanks for writing up the changes. I'll try to review over the 
next few weeks and ask a lot of questions.

One think I'd appreciate a lot is some guidance on how to test clustering. Do 
you have advice on setting up a performance benchmark for testing the cluster? 
Do you have any measurements from your own testing that you can share?
