[hobbit] Re: Information about Hobbit architecture

[Rich Smrcina]

Henrik,

That is an excellent description of the impetus for the design of 
Hobbit.  Thank you so much, I read it with much interest.

The 'dumb client' design is very handy in a shared environment, like the 
mainframe, where dozens or hundreds of virtual machines can be running 
on one box.  We don't want a client that sucks up alot of CPU time when 
it wakes up.  Also the performance improvements in the 4.2 release have 
dropped the CPU Utilization of the server by at least 80%!
