Yes, you would. I'm assuming programs that stream a lot of data, or at least send transactions larger than the default block size. Actually, if the program can't keep up with the sender, multiple messages may pile up in the system's socket buffer. In that case, the larger sysread block size will slurp up several at once (up to, say, 300, if your block size is 30000 and the messages are just 100 bytes). Filter buffering will also chew up memory, up to the size of a complete message plus any overrun into the next. -- Rocco Caputo / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / poe.perl.org / poe.sf.net
