During our busier days and hours, pages that have SWF files loading on  
them  
take a long time to load. Granted, some of our SWF files are around  
half a  
meg (.5 MB) so that’s expected, but what specific settings in the Nginx  
configuration file could assist with speeding up downloads of large  
files?

Thanks
