Package: tcpxtract
Version: 1.0.1-6
Severity: important
Tags: patch
tcpxtract calls sync() after extracting each packet of data to one of the
output files.
This has as a result of huge harddisk activity even when both source and
destination lies in ramdisk (tmpfs)
Once sync() calls get removed using attached patch, time to extract files from
a 10 mb stream decreases from
several minutes (during which harddisk emits loud noise) to about a second.
