[Swift-devel] Falkon worker config params?

[Michael Wilde]

Ioan, can you send/resend/point-me-to definitions of the critical 
parameters to control the startup of falkon workers, and review the 
attached file for anything I'm doing stupid here?

Can you review/improve/fil in my comments with more (correct) details?

Thanks,

Mike
