[ROOT] PROOF, TDSet and a large file

Hi,

I posted a question to the board, no answer, so I'll try it the old way:

I have a little proof cluster, all running cvs root on linux, all 
sharing the disks for code and data via NFS. I'd like to know whether 
running on a single file is accelerated by a proof cluster, e.g. by each 
of the slaves skipping (number of slaves) events, starting with a given 
offset. Would this be easy to implement? If the number of active slaves 
is coupled to the number of files (I somewhat remember that): suppose I 
have a TDSet'ed chain, and I add a single friend tree (with as many 
entries as the whole chain) to it - is that handled somehow, or do I end 
up with a single slave running the whole job?

I know I could just try all of that, but before trying I'd need to spend 
some (non negligible) time re-writing code, and I'd like to know whether 
that pays off before investing that time...

If all that is documented then I just didn't find it. Pointing me to it 
would be sufficient ;-)

Axel.
