I doubt very much that it's Windows itself. When I had my files on the Infrant NAS it wasn't blazing by any means, but copying gigabytes at a time to and from the NAS was acceptably fast and the bottleneck was definitely the anemic Infrant device. Windows network file access has been around for a _long_ time and other programs demostrate perfectly fine, fast file transfer speeds. It could be ActiveState's ActivePerl, but again, it's been around a while and if it were really _that_ slow, someone would probably have noticed by now. My bet is that it's something in SlimServer when run on Windows. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31844 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
