Hi Pete, thanks for the comments. One more question (I've already emailed Andy, but he may be on the road): on the slide that shows the numbers of the timing comparison direct disk access, xrootd, xrootd w/ redirection I'm not sure about the units. In Andy's talk, he uses [us] but does it mean 10^-6s which would be really fast, or does it mean 10^-3s?
