------------------------------------------------------------------------ Groupdrives slow on MacOS X http://nic.phys.ethz.ch/news/1116924099 We got the comment, that our [1]new groupdrive [2]server is much slower from a [3]MacOS X client compared with the old one. A short test showed, that the difference is about 100 times while browsing through a large directory containing pictures. The solution took several hours and we allow us to document it in the following article.
