The only other topic on the agenda is "real time application latency when the system is stressed" from Mark Gross at Intel. Simon/Sylvain, let me know if one or both of you would be interested in calling in to give a brief overview and answer questions of this proposal. No need for slides or anything, it is a very informal group. If you are outside the US I can arrange a toll-free number. Hanna
