Re the copy penalty discussion...

copying may take time
	
*BUT*

on a transputer it can take place *in parallel*

The problem with speeding up the transputer links is that however fast you
make them faster will always be better - just like CPU's. Since the faster
your links get the finer the granularity of parallism you can use - and
the less memory per processor you will need (use the money saved to buy
more processors - HECK NO! buy a porche instead - you've earned it !)
