ftp slow w/ proftpd# Samba fast

[Excalibur Xcalibur]

vsftpd simply rocks. Even wu-ftpd works fast. That proftpd seems to be a
piece of sh*t!

Security is one thing. Annoying users is another. What good is it to have a
super secure system when my users spend hours to download or upload files?
I'm pretty sure vsftpd can be configure or patched.
