Assuan's primary use is to +allow a client to interact with a non-persistent server.

This method is neither +elegant nor efficient especially when there is a lot of data spread +across several transactions: not only is there a penalty for an +increased number of context switches, but also a significant amount of +data is MEMCPYed from the client to a file descriptor and from the file +descriptor to the server. +</longdescription> +</pkgmetadata> |
