[erlang-questions] pg2 scale limits

[Matthew Evans]

The one thing to watch for is that pg2 will take a global lock over all nodes in a mesh when a join/leave is done. This means that if you are doing lots of joins, and have a mesh of Erlang nodes, then there is a performance overhead. Not a massive one, but something to watch for.
