Re: faster client pre-1.0: neon prefetching, multithreading

do you have maybe an explanation wyh the ssh access method has the
same scalability behaviour than local access, and webdav seems to be
factor 3? is it just the asynchrounous, or is it the continouus
opening of a connection and get a little information from the server?

Easier to use AIO when it's available.

You can just aio_read the sockets/disk stuff as we discover what we
need, then aio_suspend in the routine that actually needs the data to

wait for it all to get there (or a timeout to occur).

Once again, you can just aio_read this stuff, then wait for it all to

finish at once, rather than wait on them one at a time.
