As I was previously implicated in a project with a lot of IO call, I
knew that writing on disk with different buffer size (because of disk
cluster size and/or because bigger the buffer is, fewer are the IO) we
got different performance.
I would be interesting to test this with different sizes for the
buffer. And, I would guess that there are many other places where we
can optimize our code. I don't know if anyone has done any serious
performance work with FtpServer. If you like to do it, we would be
trilled :-)

the last binaries I download, it is still 4 times slower than proftpd.
The binaries has not been updated for a few years so there no change there.
This, rather brief, page in the wiki describes what you should need to
build FtpServer:

If you get stuck anywhere doing it, feel free to ask here and I'll help
you out!
