[TriLUG] GmailFS

[Ed Anderson]

The transfer rate for files is the same as your upload speed, but the
time per transaction is pretty high.  My modem's upload is capped at
40k/s.
It takes me 8.5 seconds to create an empty file with touch, and 2
seconds to delete it.  I got an effective rate of 22k/s uploading a 1
meg file, and 34k/s uploading a 35 meg file.  It took 35 seconds to
delete the 35 meg file.

Not very fast, but pretty cool anyway.
