 ### Performance
 
-The 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.

Note that just browsing a directory may cause some apps to perform many unnecessary reads or attribute checks of files in that directory.
