Ive seen this when starting up my test cluster with about 300 regions on 4 nodes.  It usually subsides after a few minutes.

> Daniel Leffel has an install of 500 regions on 4 nodes.  He's running 0.2.0.
> On restart, load balancing is running while the 600 regions are being initially opened.  Makes for churn.  Load balancing should wait before it cuts in.
> Have also seen on occasion that it will not find equilibrium after a restart.
> Adding a node is catastrophic.  >20% of the regions were closed and were taking the longest time to show up on the new server.  I would think that the region balancing would work in more sophisticated and gradual manner.
