So far this has been faster than running venti natively - though I > still take a replica each night out of paranoia. there are many components to the performance here, but i can think of at least one simple issue. plan 9 loopback tcp can be pretty slow due to scheduling issues. (induced by the structure of tcp, not any issue with the scheduler.) my atom (which is slightly worse than a d525) gets ladd; nettest -l -n 10000 tcp!192.168.0.136!39769 count 10000; 81920000 bytes in 2.649575 s @ 29.5 MB/s (0ms) so i would imagine that working out how to post a fd to srv would really help a lot. not to mention, taking some funk out of configuring the network on boot. :-) - erik
