Abstract

See full text

A method includes determining that a dispersed data source is to be updated. The method further includes determining whether the update to the dispersed data source can be delayed. When the update to the dispersed data source can be delayed, the method further includes determining whether another update is pending for the dispersed data source. When the other update is pending, the method further includes determining whether processing efficiency of aggregating the update and the other update equals or exceeds an update processing efficiency threshold. When the processing efficiency of aggregating the update and the other update equals or exceeds the update processing efficiency threshold, the method further includes performing an aggregate update to the dispersed data source for the update and the other update. When the update to the dispersed data source cannot be delayed, the method further includes processing the update to produce an updated dispersed data source.
