I just upgraded the ParNET (1.0?) I was using to the newly distributed
version that came over binaries. (2.0?)  

Has anyone noticed it being about half (or less) the speed of its 
predecessor???

I do backups across it from an A500 w/48 meg SCSI drive to an A2000 w/tape and
and what used to take a little over an hour to handle the whole backup (to
tape) was only about 19megs (out of 44 meg) into the backup after 2.5 hours!!
I finally stopped the backup figuring something is wrong here.
Does the new parpnet.handler do something much slower than the earlier
parnet.handler?  For now, I'm going to go back to 1.0 ParNet.

I havn't tried any diskperf tests across ParNET to compare the two.. if I
get a chance I'll do that and post the comparisons here (if they show the
differences I suspect)
