Description

Folks whom I've assigned this to - I'm just looking for feedback and suggestions as to where I can look in the code to potentially fix this issue. I know you're all off doing other things!

Perhaps an issue for network-transport to discuss initially!?

There are a number of fundamental issues that make things a struggle in Cloud Haskell land...

In distributed-process, the node controller can block when remote nodes are unavailable, which is less than ideal. This is the first issue that needs to be solved, since the NC blocking on network calls is a massive bottleneck for CH.

I am very aware that we do not wish to introduce unbounded buffers into the pipeline. It's a design point I completely agree with.

How can go about removing this potential bottleneck, and what other implementations out there ought I to be looking at?
