Re: juk versus hayes

It's not significantly worse over NFS on a 10 MB/s LAN than on the local file system (Daniel and I did a good bit of testing with this.). The initial scanning is slow -- but after that on load JuK just stats files on start up (and even that is delayed until after the GUI is up and usable in CVS). With stating files over NFS, your bottleneck is still a hard drive's seek time somewhere.

So while if you're loading 10,000 items over NFS it won't be exciting, you only have to do it once. After that you can read all of the items back in a few seconds.

Ian, who to my knowledge has the record for biggest collection in JuK (50k files) is on NFS.
