We've been having a look into this from our side also (the support
folks let us know about it) but haven't identified the cause yet.
[Let's keep working on this with them]
Other cluster systems aren't having the problem you've seen.
As far as what to expect, multi-process operation is functional &
fast in Performer 2.4 (and 2.4.2, the version that ships with the
cluster), and there shouldn't be any unusual glitches (though
town.perfly is fill-heavy, certain views do stress the gfx card); we
think that once we figure out the underlying problem these symptoms
should go away.

Thanks. And don't worry we'll keep it that way. :-)
