[OpenAFS] Re: Speed up pts actions

Hi,

this is a likely thought that is uttered once in a while.

Last time it was discussed, it appeared to be an accepted fact that 
adding an LDAP backend to PTS is not simple, because there are some 
interactions rather deep inside the ptserver that have been tuned to be 
lightning fast, and if you loose that speed (because you need to talk to 
the LDAP server process), AFS grinds to abysmal speeds.

Maybe pthreaded ubik has alleviated some of that by now?

Felix
