Of course, buffering output in a well-sized buffer will usually increase
performance. Looking at the source, however, might take a long time, as
I *assume* that one would have to inspect the different SAPIs (and maybe

I have to admit that I'm quite new to usenet. And of course, you're
right, that it is the usual recommendation not to feed trolls.

I didn't mean to say that you have called anyone a troll or other names;
I just made a general statement, that's true, IMHO.
