Re: Download speed throttling based on file size?

Geoff,

I've never heard of such a thing - I'd be curious to see if a truss or strace on 
either the fastcgi or http server shows anything.

If your application knows the size of the file beforehand, is there any chance 
that it has to do with the memory is being allocated/managed?

David.
