Any attempt to answer your question would require considerably more information than you have so far provided.

For example. What OS(s) and filesystem(s) are running on the server and workstation?

How much and how often is <ioccasionally append?

Will the occasional be driven by a manual process (ie. someone running a program) or by a scheduled or deamon type long-running process?

What is (or what is the source of) the data you want to write?

I'm assuming that you are trying to do this from perl. If so, what have you tried already and what problems did you encounter?

Showing us your code is always a good way to get people interested in helping.

Nah! Your thinking of Simon Templar, originally played by Roger Moore and later by Ian Ogilvy
