We might avoid a lot of network traffic / delay.

I did not thought about vasks is stuffed with more memory than blends -
I simply assume that several things are happening in this far connection
which we can only estimate if we *really* know what's happening in the
API you are using.  Blends.d.n is not *that* bad stuffed that I would
expect problems if things are working smoothly.  But there seems to be
something behind the scenes which might cause trouble.

You mean we should tell alioth admin that we are doing a monthly
statistics on some repositories???  I would think they are keen on
hearing more thrilling stories than this one.  I definitely do NOT
expect a job which kills some decent host - it is just the connection in
between which makes the hassle.  Just try to make sure you get some
preprocessed data in one rush.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
