As long as the actual frequency is low, the number of users should be okay. Okay, just one more question before adding it to todo list. Do you think it would really benefit from scalability provided by multiple workers?
* Do machines ever report that many MCE errors? The usual rate seems like one per weeks or months even when they're frequent.
* If a machine is actually reporting enough errors to overwhelm single error handling thread, does it even matter what we do?
Thanks.
