Net/ftp is CPU bound

I was noticing the other day that FTPing large files over fast
connections like a 100 megabit ethernet inside a LAN causes my CPU usage
to go to 100% in no time, and I’m running a P3 933. I was wondering if
it would be good for me to add put/getbinaryfile and put/gettextfile
procedures that don’t pass their data to blocks and perhaps memory map
and/or buffer their transactions. If this is a good idea, what should
the procedures be named

Interesting idea. Maybe just add a
flag defaulting to false? That way:
No new method names, no broken code.

Just a thought.
