Hi Ryan,

Thanks. Greg just mentioned the reads on puts too.  I'd changed the config
to 250 bytes (matching about what I store for a tweet), and reran it
overnight, and observed performance drop from 400 puts/s to 250 puts/s.
 Right now my use case has me constantly writing about 200 new tweets per
second, so unless I'm missing something, this throughput measurement is a
realistic indicator for me.

Tim.
