>Description:
	The port net-p2p/btqueue exhibits extremely slow file reads when
	rechecking files for hash correctness and also in other situations.
	This is due to a broken libc on FreeBSD 4.x, that does unbuffered
	reads PER BYTE instead of filling a given buffer with one read call.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install BTQueue on FreeBSD 4.x and try to check existing torrents.
>Fix:
	The following patch, when installed as
	/usr/ports/net-p2p/btqueue/files/patch-BitTorrent::defaultargs.py
	will solve the problem:
