If it's a server-only (or client-only) setup, then there's only one process anyway, so I don't see a problem. If a machine is both a client and a server, then having both in a single process results in a considerable speed-up because it avoids a process switch and doesn't have to push all of the communications through the socket layer and/or the IP stack. The performance boost (and the CPU usage drop) is quite noticeable on my systems. > I do not know the actual situation of 2.0rc1, because of the > 'NO_CONTENT_TYPE' problem I have noticed in some prior mails. > About point 2, I will check my APT system later, why the fuse-lib depends > on kmod-fuse. What distribution are you talking about? I don't remember this being the case on RedHat based distributions. Gordan
