You're right : We made some (quite intensive) tests, and storage cluster 
is more efficient than agregating by using Murder.
Murder works really well but has some limitations, and the 
synchronization concept is really complex.

To Christophe, about the usability in multi-location mode (and Murder), 
I can confirm this is completly transparent from the user point of view.

By using a well designed storage solution and Kolab in multi location 
mode, we can avoid using Murder in most of cases.
