Have to agree.

The on-going problem I face with one client's slow application happens 
to revolve around a switch from IPX to IP protocol for the fileshares, 
but they didn't mention that little detail for the first *three*days* I 
turned up on site. It appers that Win32 applications treat their 
"native" protocols differently, and botch it (small packets, no 
cacheing).
