directory listing speed Piratebox vs LibraryBox?

could not find any info on this but when trying LibraryBox and then PirateBox I notice a noticeable difference in speed at which directory listings appear and how long file take to load - even with say displaying a simple html file LibryBox takes much longer?

Am I just imagining this?

thanks for any info

okay so solved this

went into /opt/piratebox/conf/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

and added the following line:

dir-listing.hide-dotfiles = "enable"

and rebooted
: )

That sounds strange, but there are a few differences between LibraryBox and PirateBox:

- PirateBox is using a webserver based , more like static, HTML directory listing
- LibraryBox is using a php based directory listing including download counters, which are pulled in from a sqllite db.

Download speed for content should make no differences, because both are handled by the webserver directly.

hi
ok thx for the info; do you think with a relatively slow usb stick the difference between the HTML directory listing and the sqlite db would effect browsing speed?
thx

yes, possible, because the memory of the openwrt devices is limited, because of this less caching can happen.
