Performance issues subsequent to installation of Apple Security Update 2007-007 1.0 via Software Update

[GoogleCodeExporter]

After installing Apple Security Update 2007-007 1.0 via Software Update, 
performance of my 
sshfs-mounted filesystem seems slower, with quite frequent beachballs when 
opening or saving 
files.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install sshfs via MacPorts 1.5.0 as well as MacFusion 1.2 beta 3 (1.1.268)
2. Check open/save performance
3. Install Apple Security Update 2007-007 1.0 via Software Update
4. Recheck open/save performance.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The following installed via MacPorts 1.5.0 on OS X 10.4.10:
  expat @2.0.1_0 (active)
  fusefs @0.4.0_0 (active)
  gettext @0.16.1_0 (active)
  glib2 @2.12.13_0 (active)
  libfuse @2.6.5_1 (active)
  libiconv @1.11_4+darwin_8 (active)
  pkgconfig @0.22_0 (active)
  sshfs @1.7_5 (active)

It may be worth pointing out that Safari 3 Beta Update 3.0.3 and AirPort 
Extreme Update 2007-004 1.0 were also 
installed by Software Update at the same time.

To begin with, I generally don't have the resources to test any other 
"distribution" of MacFUSE other than the 
one I distribute. I have not used MacFUSE and related software through either 
MacPorts or MacFusion, so I 
can't comment much there.

That said, "seems slower" and "check open/save performance" are vague 
statements. How does one "check 
open/save performance"? What *is* "open/save performance"? Slow--how slow?

I can't say what has changed in your environment, but MacFUSE should have 
nothing to do with Safari 3 Beta 
Update, AirPort Extreme Update, Apple Security Update etc. sshfs, which uses 
the network, could of course be 
affected if AirPort is flakey or intermittently slow. Lots of people have 
reported intermittently slow wireless 
issues in the last month or so, so that could be it. For comparison, you might 
want to try sshfs with a wired 
network and see if "open/save performance" is better. Alternatively, you could 
try a variety of SFTP operations  
through the sftp command and see if things are good.

Finally, it's more appropriate to use the macfuse-devel forum for such 
discussions unless you have a specific 
bug to report.
