I'm finding MacFUSE to be quite useful, but I'm a definite user, not developer. The slowness in 10.5 relative to 10.4 is really remarkably horrible using sshfs. This may have to do with the 10.5 changes to Finder, things like icon preview. But the accessible switches, like turning off icon preview as default, does not help significantly.
My question is, in 10.5 is there anything one can do short of "noappledouble" to play friendly with remote servers? Are there any user-space file systems that we can anticipate to be comparable to AFP, etc? Again, I'm asking as a user who's been enjoying the benefits of FUSE with nice wrappers like sshfs and macfusion. Thanks for bringing this to mac.
