    3737It may not be entirely clear to users whether a particular Gnome app is using GIO or gvfs-FUSE. Recent versions of !OpenOffice use gvfs-FUSE when opening a file directly from an SFTP filesystem, and this may cause problems (although !OpenOffice does appear to work when editing files on an sshfs filesystem).

     41The SFTP frontend currently performs no caching (sshfs does cache by default, although not very aggressively.) Some applications assume that file operations have relatively low latency, and may have very poor performance when working directly with a Tahoe filesystem. In this case it may be better to copy files to a local filesystem and work on them there, then copy back any changes. Note that just browsing a directory may cause some apps to perform many unnecessary reads of files in that directory.
