Is this really a problem for a lot of readers? It must not be a feature<br>
|
|
of the net midend in any case, if you'd like to write a midend which<br>
|
|
buffers data to disk I'm sure such readers would be grateful. There<br>
|
|
may even be non-networked applications which would benefit from such<br>
|
|
an optional buffer.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
For me at least (nice HP scanners on decent PCI SCSI card, 100Mbit net)<br>
|
|
it was very much faster to send data over the network than down the<br>
|
|
already clogged up SCSI bus to the disk. I am too busy to even try<br>
|
|
the brand new A3 scanner which arrived last week (not an HP this time)<br>
|
|
so I must get back to work now.<br>
