Amne: SV: asymetrisk transfer of files through ftp
I see, i tried this on FreeBsd 4.7-release and got a transfer rate say,
around 30 MByte/s with both put and get (ftp via loopback interface), but in
5.0-current i got 7Mbytes/s with put and 15 Mbyte/s with get. Any diffrens
between ftpd in FreeBsd 4.7-Release compared to 5.0-current.

I believe FreeBSD's ftpd uses sendfile to answer gets which has lower
overhead then the usual while(read(file)){ write(socket); } code. This
might account for the difference.
