I just got a Google Groups notification that I had been subscribed to http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-talk. Looking at the page, it appears that about 4300 folks have been subscribed. However, I saw nothing about this on rails@lists.rubyonrails.org.

.... It's saving the file in tiny chunks.... Looking at a few, I see: 4148 bytes 2116 bytes 1604 bytes 692 bytes The latency is killing it. I see the TCP window size being as high as 17069 with 7678 being common. The sendmail latency isn't spectacular, but at least uses ~64K packets. So wazzup with dovecot? I don't recall this being so much an issue with the old uwash imaps, but then it's been a while since I've used it and maybe my files weren't as large. But it can take several minutes to save a file to a record file that takes <1 second over network CIFS. Anywa...

...and everyfrackin' body was using 4K packet sizes (at the application level!, the window size on TCP was over 64K...but no one was using it)....especially galling with my network's MTU at 9K, BTW, because small packets are really bad on a 1Gb network. sendmail -- 4K, dovecot /ssl, 4K... wazzup .. is t-bird forcing this, or is there some ssl requirement? but it can't just be ssl -- as it's talking to sendmail on port 25 unencrypted (it's a local net anyway)...

The more I read about all of this, the more I'm thinking about moving to maildir format. My switchover this weekend is full of holes due to the way user's imap folders were laid out. Some had folders in their home directory and others might have folders in their /home/mail directory. Some how, Horde/Imp seemed to keep track of it. Dovecot is not doing so well. I've been reading
