EnableSendFile speed boost

Hi all,

I don't know if it's said multiple times, but I felt like sharing it.

I've been using WAMP for 2 years now and it's the best AMP-package I've found.
Great interface and usability.

BUT I was slightly disappointed about the download speeds I got (max 650 kb/s).
I thought it was a cap or something.

Here's how I solved it:
By default, 'EnableSendFile' is enabled in the main httpd config.
By simply disabling it (unquote the line), it no longer uses the (Linux) optimalisation SendFile which is incompatible with Windows XP / Server 2003.

I don't know if this applies with Windows 7/ Server 2008.

Happy hosting!
