Recently I came across some slides [1] that investigaged about the Acute Sudden Death Syndrome in Mule, which stated increased respiratory rate, tremor, excessive sweating, and sudden death as symptoms.

No it was not about the Mule ESB folks' reaction to the recent article [2] about the performance of the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) / Apache Synapse ESB against them ;)
