[CONDUIT #EJP-757499]: Delay spikes on CONDUIT and what to do

Hi Art,

We are seeing delays as well, but ours seem to be less than half of what you 
are seeing
at the worst times (~800s vs ~1800s).

re:
> Is the cause of these delays known?

We do not know the cause for the latencies.  I can say that when we were 
ingesting
the full CONDUIT feed (meaning old plus 0.25 deg GFS) directly from a single 
node
in the NCEP cluster (the node had been removed from the cluster for testing 
purposes),
our latencies were _very_ low.

Given the difference between you (PSU) and UCAR, I would assume that
there is something between NCEP and PSU.  Given the higher than expected
latencies we are seeing in our feed from NCEP, there is also something
going on at/near NCEP.

I am CCing Carissa Klemmer on this reply so she is aware of the latency
issue.

re:
> Thanks... Art

Please keep us informed if anything changes on your end (either good or bad).

Cheers,

Tom
