Being online job searching all day is painful enough especially at a snails pace! Thanks for giving me back my sanity (may be temporary)!

But in theory it would work if the delayed ACK setting was causing your particular problem. On the other hand, I'd probably recommend against it as it was only meant as a temporary fix in the first place. Either way, it can't hurt to try it. You can always uninstall if it doesn't work. -systemsboy Guzz,

Anyway VLC was having a stutter every 10 seconds when playing a movie on the wire over AFP from OS X server to my mac book pro. When I set the delayed ack to 0 it immediately fixes it. Great fix thanks, will continue to look for improvements in other apps. I was just trying out VLC because fed up with Niceplayers 100% cpu for first minute of opening a movie.

Great question.

Unfortunately, the only way to tell for sure when to pull the startup item is to pull the startup item.

That is, next time Apple releases an OS update (or possibly a security update), try disabling the startup item and testing your network speed. If it’s normal sans startup item, you’re good to go. Otherwise, you can put the startup item back and continue to run with it until the next update, at which point, lather, rinse, repeat.
