:I wanted to ask if there were any improvements to this code.
:Some reviews state that it is very CPU-intensive during high loads.
:Is there any better FTP server for FreeBSD 4.x or improvements to the 
:default ftp server?!?

    I would either use the ftpd supplied with FreeBSD, or not
    use ftpd at all... especially not wu-ftpd, which has a 
    terrible history of root compromises.  This is one case where
    all those cool features in wu-ftpd are just not worth the
    potential for yet another root hack being discovered.
