Thanks, now that I have it working, what particular files does it make send
to send using AIO? Its interesting that in the example given here:
http://wiki.nginx.org/HttpCoreModule (see below) the location referes to the
"video" directory, i.e. implying that AIO should really be used for media
file delivery.

Would SWF files for example fall in that category?

location /video {
aio on;
directio 512;
output_buffers 1 128k;
}

What kind of test could be run to discern the advantage of using AIO on any
type of file?

Thanks
