Loading the 'plan9' folder from gmail takes well > about a minute. the upas/fs in contrib quanstro/nupas does do caching. it was written become i had a few users with 500mb mailboxes, and since access was slow (the file server had a couple 100gb ide disks), the imap mail client timed out and opened the mail box again. since the file server didn't have more than ~100 mb of buffers, this would make the second download slower. rince, rather, repeat until the mail host goes boom. - erik
