Package: plptools
Version: 0.10-1
Severity: normal
I don't know if I've misunderstood something, but plpftp is transferring
much more slowly than I'd expected, for example, here is the output from
some 'put' commands -
Transfer complete, (10717 bytes in 23.20 secs = 461.94 cps)
Transfer complete, (17635 bytes in 35.44 secs = 497.602 cps)
Transfer complete, (16826 bytes in 34.22 secs = 491.701 cps)
Transfer complete, (31297 bytes in 61.71 secs = 507.163 cps)
My link is supposed to be running at 115,200 baud, which gives a
theoretical maximum speed of 10,000 to 15,000 cps (depending on stop bits
and things), although obviously there is going to be protocol overhead. But
why is everything running 20 to 30 times more slowly than that?
I am not stressing my system with other activity. My console is not
reporting significant numbers of serial overruns.
If I do /etc/init.d/plptools stop, followed by /etc/init.d/plptools start
and try to link again, the transfer rate is about 10 times faster, for a
while.
The link is connected to /dev/ttyS0 (my mouse is on PS/2).
Here is /proc/interrupts:
0: 348091568 XT-PIC timer
1: 15552 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
4: 2435231 XT-PIC serial
8: 4 XT-PIC rtc
10: 27201981 XT-PIC eth0
14: 7611099 XT-PIC ide0
15: 1 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
ERR: 0
and setserial /dev/ttyS0:
/dev/ttyS0, UART: 16550A, Port: 0x03f8, IRQ: 4
I tried setting it to IRQ 0 (to check for wrong IRQ) but then plpftp hung
while trying to connect.

Here's a typical transfer:
Transfer complete, (1909528 bytes in 197.29 secs = 9678.79 cps)
This looks pretty healthy to me.
