Anti-virus is not an issue, I don't think, since the problem only arises 
with AFS copying, not with scp or copying from NFS shares.

VPN is not involved.

-memcache improves the situation considerably. Time is now 20sec real 
for AFS copy, 13sec for scp or NFS copy. That's ballpark enough for me.

Is there a reason -memcache isn't a default setting for afsd?

Thanks in advance -
