Hello fellow LAM-MPI users!

I'm currently using lam-7.2b1r9913 because our customer needs the
Myrinet support. However, when trying to lamboot 128 machines it takes
about 1/2 hour to complete. Is this normal or is it an issue with the
particular SVN version that I'm using.

Currently I LAM is installed on an NFS mount. I tested about 16
machines with LAM mounted locally but it didn't really make boot
performance any faster.

Lastly, I like LAM cause I don't seem to hit the ssh limits like I do
with MPICH-GM, but is there a limit on number of processes that can be
launched?
