Quoting Jan Schneider <jan at horde.org>:

| > MIME Magic support
|
| We have several ways for find out file types of extension less files, but I
| don't know they compare to each other.

The built in PHP mime magic support is much faster than the fallback option
(mime magic support in PHP code), and is more accurate than doing MIME guessing
via extensions (since some OS's, i.e. *nix, don't generally use extensions to
determine the file type).
