Actually I spent a few hours on Sunday making some modifications to the 
way wu-ftpd treats the socket and how it handles the files as it is 
reading/writing them off the drive. I think the modifications that have 
been made actually edge out a bit faster than the SunOS box I have been 
comparing it against.

I am going to keep looking into this. It seems that the ftpd that ships 
with FreeBSD is actually faster than the wu-ftpd port on -stable machines 
too. [For less than say 100 simultaneous FTPs]. I took a lot of the idea 
for a lot of the modifications from the standard ftpd program.
