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. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "macfuse-devel" group.
