Sadly, the documentation for SkyTools is *appalling*.  I took a look some
time ago and ran away pronto.

I think the origional question still stands:  how do you get slony to pump
more data and take full advantage of available network bandwidth.  In our
case, we have a large cluster with gigabit networking, yet usage is a
paltry few megabits/s (so large updates take hours to days to replicate).

I recall asking the same question some months ago, but no real solution
surfaced.  It appears to be pretty much a case of "that's the way slony
works."
