People who find it slow could download a distribution to
a local directory. LDRAW tools should have a search path
that the user can edit, so local directories could be looked
at first.

Good point about testing. Mounting a drive (using whatever
technology you have available) across a slow link would
be a good way to test if the concept is acceptably fast.

But personally, I've always thought that a slow solution is
better than no solution.

Wouldn't this be really really slow while before the web cache fills
up?

I suppose you could test the speed without a rewrite by samba sharing
an LDRAW directory across the internet and then setting your ldrawdir
path to something like \\www.ldraw.org\ldrawparts.


Samba use NT which is probably not the best schems to use.
Unix style NFS probably- bu thier are security isssues.
The way I was thinking was liek the inlining in VRML- which I think is htttp
