Re: Performance Issues on 570

[Nelson Smith <ncsmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the offer, but I'm really more of a bystander on this one, 
just watch the trainwreck in slow motion.  We have more folks addressing 
the technical issues than we can find desks for.  What I'm more 
interested in is what sort of experiences have others had in going to 
the new boxes like the 570.  So far, no one is talking about that.
