-
- With the A/UX file system, A/UX must "translate" files to MacOS format.
-
- If you want to speed up access (etc) to these files, change them from
- AppleSingle to AppleDouble (see fcnvt)...
-
- In any case, the size of A/UX _does_ cause some performance "problems"...
- The size of the Desktop* files can get pretty big!
