[erlang-questions] Slow UTP packets

[Ovidiu Deac]

Thanks!

Indeed switching to file:write fixed the problem.

But what is the explanation for the fact that the output slows during
runtime? Is it a bug?

Still I would like to write text files where the lines are formatted
using ~p style. How can I do that fast?
