Alright, this patch has been around for a while and I think the results are very similar to the version which sends all commands via ssh, except for the performance boost. I am now sending the patch for appreciation and requesting some feedback, especially if there is any specific test that was working but is now broke because of this patch. If possible, run the full cimtest suite first in a pristine checkout and save the run_report.txt file with a different name. After that, apply the patch to the tree and run the suite again. Reply to this email attaching both files so we can analyse the results.
