Hi,
Incremental updating (-u) of archives are painfully slow:
1) After printing "Reading old headers...", the program counts
to the 42043 messages in my (relatively small) archive. This
step is performed by the loadoldheadersfromGDBMindex() function
in parse.c; and takes more than 10 minutes to complete!
2) After that, the program loads the in-box and re-write ALL
index file. This significantly (and unnecessarily) adds
to the processing time.
What can be done to improve the above two steps? A solution
to any of these problems will be highly appreciated.
BTW: I'm using Hypermail 2.1.8 with the GDBM option.
Best regards.
Frank
