Good stuff. The first few paragraphs might lead the short-attention-spanned to the wrong conclusion, in particular: "Serving directly from system memory is universally the fastest method of serving content. Reading files from a disk controller or, even worse, from a remote network is orders of magnitude slower. Disk controllers usually involve physical processes, and network access is limited by your available bandwidth. Memory access on the other hand can take mere nano-seconds." But it does go on to detail the issue at hand. I'm torn between wanting to stick the right solution in people's faces and not assuming they're idiots, but linking to here is a reasonable compromise. -- noodl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
