I just did 140M of MP3s in about 15 seconds. I suppose that it could |
| 20 |
be slower if I had a lot of little files. I haven't updated my |
| 21 |
prefix in a long time so I can't give you day-to-day usage speed for |
| 22 |
compiles and syncs, etc. |

One thing to check is how quickly your sparseimage expands when it |
| 24 |
gets full. I'm pretty sure that you can tweak this behavior when |
| 25 |
creating your sparseimage from the command line. I created my prefix |
| 26 |
so long ago that I can't remember what configuration I used for it. |
