Mulan (which you hopefully remember with great fondness :-) is currently running
around ten frontends, six of which produce data at any rate.  If I'm remembering
correctly, the event builder handles about 30-40MB/s.  You could probably ping Tim
Gorringe or his current postdoc Volodya Tishenko (tishenko@pa.uky.edu) if you want
more details.  Volodya solved a significant number of throughput related
bottlenecks in the year leading up to our 2006 run.
