Only 1 node is doing any productive work at the moment due to a project being cancelled. 2 other nodes are dedicated to backups and being a NFS file server and it's unwise to load node 1 as if it is heavily loaded it can affect the High Performance Switch. There was one node unused so I just started the client on there too. We now have 16 nodes running the client. Rough total is now 1364800 Keys/Sec. While the managers work out what to do with the machine it's mostly idle and available for this sorta thing.
