Hi Lars,

thanks for your reply.

Thanks for mentioning this and that's exactly what I'm wondering
about. Encryption too is involved when doing SCP transfers (even
stronger encryption, such as Blowfish or AES 256) and I get scp speeds
of 60 to 82 MB/sec when transferring to native ext3 fs.

So, my question is: Why is there almost no decrease when using SCP
with a strong encryption algorithm (compared to plain DES that AFS
uses) but there is *drastic* decrease in performance with only plain
DES enabled compared to an unencrypted transfer?

Any good ideas as to how to test memcache?

Thanks in advance & kind regards,
