[Swift-devel] lots of very small files vs gridftp

[Ioan Raicu]

No, the times included the time to allocate nodes as well, but that 
wasn't really a significant part of those experiments due to the fact 
that for the shorter experiments, we only used 8 to 32 nodes (probably 
all got allocated in under 60 sec), and for the larger test, like 
MolDyn, the tests lasted hours, so the several minutes it took to 
allocate 200 processors was again not significant. In fact, in MolDyn, 
you can actually see that only 150 or so processors were allocated 
initially, and the rest up to the max of 216 processors were allocated 
incrementally as they became available.
