Curious!

Could you please do the same experiment with Tahoe-LAFS v1.7.1? If it
was just as ill-behaved back then, I guess this isn't a recent
regression and we don't have to hold up 1.8.1 to investigate it.

It would be really great if we could figure out how to integrate this
JavaScript stuff into Tahoe-LAFS. Here's the ticket, with Brian's
patch, screenshots, and links to the discussion (which is a bunch of
people standing around saying "JavaScript packaging? What? How do we
do this?").

François: if you could apply Brian's New Visualizer and post
screenshots of the visualization of the performance when you have
20-of-60 encoding, that would be cool!
