[ppy] Yes ... it was a serious processor drain. I don't remember
exactly, I think it was drawing down 50% of the processing power from
each of the two 64 bit 2.4GHz Opteron processors on PASCAL when KLH10
was running. (02)
Setting up a lower-end dedicated box for it is still on my plate (not
quite near the top, though). (03)
By the way, do you know if the Museum is still planning to provide the
resources eventually? Not that I mind doing this, but the original
understanding was that we are doing this as a "second source" to what
the Museum was supposed to support. Let's make sure this is still on
Phil Gust's (or the SCC's) to-do list. [attn: Phil] (04)
Regards. =ppy
