When I played around with the patch a while back it seemed to speed
things up. Less output to to send seemed to mean less drag on the system.
Maybe it was just me expecting improvements because I added something new
and so I saw it "run faster". *shrug*
I would think that that patch would help because it would mean smaller
buffers and that's less RAM usage. That last sentence was purely in
theory. If you want _real_ info about buffers and mem usage go to one of
the pros. I just type like crazy and eventually I get the code to work.
Kind of like the thousand(?) monkeys typing a Shakespearean play. :)
