Jared, Thank you for you time and reply. I got impressed by your numbers and I started to double check my settings. I found a big problem here, my third machine (the one out of the cluster, making the load), was not talking to Riak in gigabit speed, it was 100 Mbs. I changed the network cable and

Hi all, I'm sure someone else has done this so I figure I'd try to see if anyone wants to share. I'm creating a social networking type of site which has some pretty big scaling/feature requirements and would like to evaluate Riak as a candidate for use as a storage engine. For scale, I'm looking
