But that's likely to be quite difficult, and SCTP is apparently not widely supported yet. Seriously, the only suggestions I have are to crank up your venus cache size so that objects don't need to be discarded, and to consider using hoard, or else a walk of the tree to fault in files at times you don't need the net. I used to pay attention to the latter when I was on dialup, but now have a fiber to my basement and 15 Mb/s with 7 ms RTT to my coda server, so I've stopped worrying.Received on 2007-04-20 16:12:57
