Ircu automatically delays a certain period (2 seconds or so) between processing rapidly sent lines after a certain number of rapidly sent command lines have been received and processed. This is a feature designed to reduce flood attacks. It applies only to client-server connections, not server-server ones, AFAIK. Turning this off requires alteration to the source code. Therefore, you would only be able to turn this off if you happened to administrate an ircu based server, and this would still only be effective for your server. Also, it would be a Very Bad Idea to do this, because it opens your server up to all kinds of DoS attacks. Plus, I doubt any network would accept such a modified server, because again it permits DoS attacks from even the least skilled malicious users ... -- Amarande
