Hi Paul, I've seen the Javadoc for the new NIO somewhere but could not immediately find any references to better performance or network latency. I think there was a new Method (getAttributes() or something similar). Do we have to use different methods to get the faster performance or should the program be unchanged? Anyone know?
I'll try the beta out and report back... @Christian "A network file system will have the "standard" problem of round trip latency time for any operations which can not be aggregated into one call." So how come the C program is so fast? The problem must surely lie in the Java implementation of the NFS.
