Some time ago, I've been developing a little app and half the libraries
(GTK2, Pango et al.) were built in AFS space. Since I was too lazy to
recompile at home, I just used them where they were. The AFS caching and
on demand paging kicked ass.

All went over a single ISDN line and I was able to observe that running
a program accesses different parts of a library than debugging. B-)
