If anyone has a remote NFS server (preferably outside > the US) it would be helpful for my testing :) they might be crazy enough to do that... simple way to test - add a usleep (500000); into every magic file check. then you will have an idea of what it might be like on a slow fs. :) -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
