If you want to buy 1TiB of RAM to play with, you can go right ahead :p For a pooled together project - a shared venti - that might still be practical, at least with slower memory, but - 1TiB of HDD space is like $20. I'm not going to bother checking the spot price of 1tib of RAM because... it has a spot price now :/
And it's not terriblly much code to do a better venti using disks. Could definitely build the index entirely into memory on startup and have less disk code, too, but I'm not convinced it's worth it. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Tf991997f4e7bb37e-M9f9a4833f888ca1ec34f3c0f Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
