Today I updated Iliad from svn, gst from git and added some
code to mech.rb to also load the images linked into the pages.

First of all: The socket situation is drastically improved.
Especially, if changing
        net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 60
to
        net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 5

Now I only have <n> client sockets chilling out after I run
        ruby mech.rb <n>

The bad news is that I still get the 

   "Socket accept error: Error while trying to accept a socket connection"

The neutral news is that I need to run
        ruby mech.rb 54
to provoke it, whereas in the originial setting 25 clients
managed to raise it. I'm not sure if the fact that I'm running
it on my development box instead of the server is the cause
of this.

The good news is that I get that error *every* single time,
towards the end of the run.

The *really interesting* news is watching the output of
        while true; do netstat | grep tcp | wc -l ; sleep 2 ; done
while running ruby mech.rb 54 ...

5       "background" sockets, pop, nntp etc.
113     = 5 + 54*2, makes sense

closed


Oh btw, if you happen to have atop on your computer, and I don't
see a reason why you should not, run the following line
        atop -m -a -P PRM 2 | grep gst-remote
in another window. It shows the following (slightly redacted) output
for this run. I've annotated virtual and resisdent memory size
and growth, as well as the number of minor and major page faults.

Paolo and Nico: I'll follow up with details on the testbed offlist.
