AFAIC, regular ftpd is more secure and robust than lukemftpd.  I've seen reports
in the past saying that performance issues in lukemftpd are unavoidable WRT fixing
them.  Until we get performance and security up to what we have in ftpd right now,
IMHO it's rather meaningless to compare features.

FWIW, if one doesn't like stock ftpd, there are plenty in ports.
