>From a UI perspective I definitely agree. The problem with that one is that it can take a non-trivlal amount of time, that's why it was made an option (in the protocol) in the first place. Particularly if you have a database with many small objets. Is it enough to care about? I'm not sure, but it's definitely something to consider. It was not negligible in some tests I ran then, but it is quite some time ago and reality has definitely changed since then. -- Magnus Hagander Me: https://www.hagander.net/ Work: https://www.redpill-linpro.com/
