524 output-rate [bytes per second]
525
526Show the current setting of the output-rate, or set it to the provided
527value. The server will try very hard not to send more than this many bytes
528per second to your client. If the rate is exceeded, the server tries to
529hold back less important information (such as new images) to increase
530responsiveness.
531
532The server-side default is usually quite high, around 100000. If the
533server is running on a Linux kernel, it will adjust to the actual
534bandwidth available, and output-rate only sets an upper bound. That is,
535the server will automatically set an optimal send rate and adjusting your
536output-rate is not required.
