Is Gerolde separate from the server that serves the FTP and HTTP 
traffic? If it is
separate then I can't argue for the delta's improvement on the server's 
performance.
If it *is* the same server then Garn's argument is illogical.

What else is Gerolde doing for Arch and can it be moved to another server?
