+vsftpd is an FTP server, or daemon. The "vs" stands for Very Secure. Obviously
+this is not a guarantee, but a reflection that I have written the entire
+codebase with security in mind, and carefully designed the program to be
+resilient to attack.
+
+Recent evidence suggests that vsftpd is also extremely fast (and this is
+before any explicit performance tuning!) In tests against wu-ftpd, vsftpd
+was always faster, supporting over twice as many users in some tests.
