Josh - it sounds like you're working hard on this; much appreciated.

Is there a clear resource constraint in the process - lack of hardware,
insufficient bandwidth (locally or at the mirrors)?  It sounds like
current manpower is covered - are there software improvements
(optimizations, pipelining, architectural) on the wishlist that would
improve throughput?

Thanks,
-Bill
