Hmm.. I smell a rat, and a pointer to the *real* issue(s) here. We're running with about 5700 lists under 14.4, and our last restart: Nov 4 06:56:37 listserv.vt.edu lsv[3315]: LISTSERV(R) for unix version 14.4 starting... ... Nov 4 06:57:15 listserv.vt.edu lsv[3315]: Initialization complete Not huge iron either - Dell 2850 with 2 3.6GHz Xeons and 2G of memory. Maybe you need 'TUNE_MANY_LISTS=1' in go.user and/or an HPO license? 75 minutes is just nuts (although it's what I'd have expected on our old Listserv box for 32K lists - it had 200MHz 604e CPUs.. ;)
