Hi Felix,
thanks for your comments. Unfortunately the entropy is not the culprit. As for
the per dir auth I don't think that this is a problem, since the server is not
loaded and I suppose it would only show when accessing lots of possibly small
files, which is not the case here.
Thanks again,
- Jan.
