To help star to buffer, give star a large fifo size that is up to haslf o=
f the=20
RAM in your machine, e.g. fs=3D1000m

To make sure that star gives fast file creation (unpacking of archives) o=
n=20
filesystems that do not support fast verified transactions, you need to m=
ake=20
star as "insecure" as other software to get comparable results, so add:

	-no-fsync

J=F6rg

--=20
