A big "Thank you" to Chris and everyone whose input facilitated
ver 1.5.3.
I have upgraded to this version and my client using Opera are now
a happy lot, since they don't have to operate M$ outhouse and Opera
in tandem (or was it side-by-side?).
A few questions:
1. Where does tpop3d write the cached info? As in what is
the path of the destination file?
2. How do I measure the improvement created by using the
new auth cacheing system? I have one of those busy
servers and I've enabled this cache mechanism.
3. On my servers, tpop3d has never been a resource hog
before. Now, how to I gauge what a 'heavy load' situation is?
Chris has noted that one of the functionality pluses in the new
version is "Improved performance under heavy load".
cheers
