We ran top and came up with some figures and I was hoping that I could run them by
you to see if they are coherent with your experiences.
On my 133 MHz, linux : 460 000 lines used up approximately 43 MB
On his Sun Ultra 5 : 2 280 000 lines used up about 230 MB
Is our system simply not capable of coping with the data load? You wrote that you
were uncompressing and processing 2 million lines per minute and that a site was
using it on over 250 million lines. What do we do?
Thanks!
