- Interesting! I use AFS Pro, and its delightfully faster than FFS at almost
- everything.

- I had only noticed one exception: PDBase, the disk archiver, takes
- ridiculously long to save a 17K database file under AFS. Snoopdos only
- shows it writing a single file - but I've never upgraded to the newer
- version of SnoopDOS. Must do that and try DOStrace to see if it's the same
- sort of situation as yours...
