- When NIS+ is used instead of NIS the benefit from using nscd is much bigger.
Keep in mind that non-namelookup related operations dominate above times.
It was just a common complain that using NIS+ unpacking the kernel is
- horribly slow. When using nscd unpacking is now even faster than using
- NIS.
