As we have recently considered performance over slow connections...

Here's an extract from
~/Library/Logs/DiscRecording.log after using
Burn <http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net/> to burn items from an SSHFS  
volume to CD-RW, over a relatively slow ADSL connection:

> Burn: Burn started, Wed Sep  5 18:54:19 2007
> Burn: Burning to CD-RW media with SAO strategy in MATSHITA DVD-R    
> UJ-846 FQ3T via ATAPI.
> Burn: Requested burn speed was max, actual burn speed is 4x.
> Burn: Burn underrun protection is supported, and enabled.
> Burn: Burn finished, Wed Sep  5 19:25:51 2007
> Burn: Verify started, Wed Sep  5 19:25:51 2007
> Burn: Verify finished, Wed Sep  5 19:50:56 2007

That was, 252 MB burnt in around thirty minutes to a CD-RW at maximum  
4x speed on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.4.10. MATSHITA DVD-R    
UJ-846 drive burner.

WAN downstream 1698.69 Kbps (1.7Mbps)) subsequently reported by
<http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html>.

A very loose calculation:
less than half the capacity of a CD at 4x speed might have taken less  
than 14 minutes to burn. That the burn took more than twice as long,  
but was successful, is a testament to the ability of buffer under-run  
protection and the other technologies to work harmoniously.

I have only good things to report:

* Burn was unresponsive for a while -- before and after the burn,  
then at Quit time -- but with a slow connection and an operation of  
this nature, that's only to be expected. Most importantly: the  
resulting CD-RW was fine.

* the Burn application aside: Finder and other applications didn't  
falter for a moment.

In an ideal world, I might have preferred Burn to present a  
"patience, please" dialogue, but the requirement for me to burn a CD  
in these circumstances (items sourced over a slow connection) is  
extremely rare.

If I'm inclined, I might repeat the routine using an AFP connection  
in lieu of SSHFS. Very unscientific, but it'll satisfy my curiosity  
re: AFP compared to SSHFS/MacFUSE in a situation such as this.
