    I just did a quick fit of the same analytic growth model I used last time to
    this data that Dave Goldsmith posted to Incidents.  Last time around CRv2 had a
    spread rate in the region of 1.6-1.8 hosts per hour.  This time it's around 0.75
    hosts per hour (confirming Dave's eyeball estimate).  That is, an average
    infected host is able to find 0.75 new hosts to infect per hour (near the
    beginning of the infection, before saturation starts to set in).  So it's
    spreading significantly slower this time (though still much faster than CRv1
    spread).
    
    Assuming it's the CRv2 code again, that suggests that there are roughly 45% as
    many vulnerable hosts as there were last time.  It's going to be as fully
    saturated as it gets early this afternoon.
    
    Stuart.
