What kind of latency does communication over this interconnect typically have? How does that compare to the kind of latency we could expect if we instead put our cash into getting a single shared cache?

@Olorin You can read this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InfiniBand) which explains the network communications link used in high-performance computing. It includes a performance table that shows the latency stats.
