Hello!

We use Slony 2.1.4, with ~55 global slaves. Susbcribing [1] a node takes
from ~3minutes (a few milli seconds away) to 15 minutes (200ms away) -
one some minutes for the initial sync.

a) Is it safe to subscribe multiple nodes in parallel, or do I have to
subscribe them one after the other?

b) Why does it take so long to subscribe? Can I speed up the subscribe?

Thanks
Klaus
