I tried this by keeping two separate ets tables and alternatively  
inserting into them.

I spawned two processes to broadcast, each iterating over their  
respective ets table.

I did not see a performance improvement, maybe this has to do with  
running on a 1-core virtual CPU.

I will try to send timestamps around next on the assumption that my  
timing calculations are flawed.

	Thanks, Joel
