No Marc, that's not how it works. The Moira server does not block on
waiting for AFS. All incremental updates are serialized through a
batch queue which is processed asynchronusly from queries.
As long as the moira server is a vax, the register_user query takes
about 30 seconds. It hasn't gotten any slower since we changed it to
create lockers in AFS instead of NFS. I expect it to be much faster
once we've replaced the server with a Maxine.
