 Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
-value.  The server will try not to send (much) more than this many bytes
+value. The server will try very hard not to send more than this many bytes
 per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
-hold back less important information (such as new images), to increase
-responsiveness. The server-side default is usually quite high, around
-100000, so if you have a slow link and want to be able to control your
-character even when downloading faces, set this to a lower value, such as
-7000 (for ISDN).

+The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
+server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
+bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
+the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
+output-rate is not required.
