Oh if you can use sendfile, you use it sure, and whether its used async or not isn't going to make a big deal, all of the benefits are the zero copy, the DMA, the TOE, and so on. That's not even a consideration, async is really for dynamic content, proxies, and other non-sendfile content. -- Colm MacCárthaigh Public Key: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
