The identd wot I wrote is still fast as anything on 2.4 :)
As you can see from this teeny sample of my ident log, I take just a little
over 1/100th of a second to respond (on average). :)

2001-02-26 09:41:02.535514500 Q [195.92.249.252] - [33363, 21]
2001-02-26 09:41:02.548884500 A [195.92.249.252] - [8c0babd7b8ab6830b7092839/3a9a24ae/8454c] for [33363, 21] UID [500]
By the way, the intention of my ident server was not to be fast, but just to be
a little simpler and less over-engineered than pidentd, and not to give out any
site-specific information (uid's etc). The speed was a bonus.
