Thought you all might be interested in this thread from the Evergreen discussion list.  I pulled out the end of Dan's message in my reply.  Take a moment to read the whole message, it is about the transaction time of the Evergreen client and how it can be improved.  Might be a good place for this group to focus some energy.  

I really like the idea of using our resources to get some kind of independent benchmarking system in place too.

Your thoughts?
