If you have not checked these components out I highly recomemd you

I just ported a IBO based NT service and the file size went from
1.1mb to 328k and the performance is incredible.

I also ran the code through memproof and memcheck and no leaks :-)

I then took the same code and applied it to the linux daemon version
and it was up and running in minutes.
