Thank you for your compliment (about the name). Its quite sad though that the word Shiv does not exist in the Indian-English lexicon. So people just think of the God and not of a knife!
I do have some ideas and heuristics in mind. I wanted to give out a small hello to the community for now. I will write up my ideas/approach properly, go through a round of feedback and then share it with the community of course. (Just that I have my final examinations going on now..so I need to wait for the weekend).
I will be trying to talk to Greg as well apart from my mentors.
Regards,
Shiv

That'd be awesome. Do you not have some ideas in mind? It seems like
in general it lacks a feedback mechanism to figure things out settings
from workloads, instead relying on Greg Smith's sizable experience to
do some arithmetic and get you off the ground in a number of common
cases.
