Will they accept data loss in case of a server crash? If they don't
care, then hey - you're safe...

BTW: I've never seen a slowdown as bad as that. Just out of curiosity,
what happens if you turn off ACL support and/or use a client from
ftp.kernel.org, with no ACL support.

(NOTE: the reason I've rejected ACLs so far in the mainline client is
the lack of support for caching in the patches I've seen so far)

Cheers,
