Well then why, forgive my perseverance, isn''t ADAPTIVE_SAVE defined?

Sorry, I do not understand this, perhaps due to may ignorance.
There is
(sent_this_iter > sent_last_iter) && RATE_IS_MAX()
as one primary condition to leave the precopy loop. To me this reads as
''We''re onverging the WWS''. But undef''d
ADAPTIVE_SAVE states
#define RATE_IS_MAX() 0
which unless I''ve been terribly missing something should rather be 1,
since (a) it es indeed writing full speed in that mode and (b) this
nullifies the whole check regarding the WWS (unless the latter is < 50
pages).
Any help appreciated.
Thanks for listening,
daniel
