Comment (by davidsarah):

 Also, in the current code (see the second patch in http://tahoe-
 lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/attachment/ticket/1429/drop-
 upload-4.darcs.patch), there is a much faster handler that pops events
 from the inotify queue and immediately pushes them onto foolscap's
 eventual send queue, which is limited only by memory. So the rate of
 filesystem events would have to be faster than
 {{{twisted.internet.inotify}}} and this handler can keep up with, rather
 than faster than the actual uploads.
