Giles,

what's really weird is that if I keep increasing the Cache TTL and
Cache size, the speed of transfer starts dropping.

Perhaps I haven't hit the sweet spot yet however,


running:

auth_cache_size = 160000 B
auth_cache_ttl = 8 hours


I am actually knocking off 4 seconds from half size values.


To be honest I just whish I could understand what is going on in order
to get the transfer sub-3 minutes!


Regards,

Kaya
