Is there a runtime > ini_set() value? You'd have to read the latest php.ini to rule it out, but I don't think it's an ini_set() value. You *COULD* sort of hack it with some sleep() calls on the server and some rule-of-thumb measuring of some real-world clients... At that point, though, targetting it as "buffer size" is really a mis-nomer and it's really more of a poor man's "renice" If any of this is running from CLI, you may want to read "man nice" -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
