I was just trying to take advantage of the vast ammount memory on this box and avoiding the overhead of IO.
<$0.02> I would argue that if a user is going to wait 30 seconds or more to download an mp3, it's not going to matter whether you spend two seconds to store the file on disk first. However, with a user having the ability to open up multiple windows and multiple users being able to hit your server, I would be concerned about every page request taking up 5MB (or whatever the mp3 file size is) of RAM. Not even considering the fact that it will be child's play to cache the request if it's a file, and much harder/expensive to do when you keep it in memory. </$0.02> /m ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
