for what it's worth wpwin-l has a couple hundred (weekly) notebooks. since i can't find any cpu time being spent searching i don't imagine there should be any concern in a solaris (or similar unix) environment unless you want archive searching to take precedence over delivery. and yes, searching appears to be (quite) slow. of course our machine may be a special case since it still does all of its own delivery (not as many as the top 20 list might imply but still a lot) with sendmail. -------- In reply to: The database functionality loved and hated in 1.7 is again live and well but with a kinder and gentler face....Now if a site with 100s of logfiles in a list would put this up for testing....then it could be determined....if a particular box had any cpu time left over to do other things. --------------------- -- paul [log in to unmask] |public keys at: pjg@ubvm | http://urth.acsu.Buffalo.EDU/~pjg/key.html if the above contains opinions they are mine unless marked otherwise.
