Some of you may recall that I started a thread some time ago about wishing for the benefits of the direct posting format without needing to use a codec. The thread landed as a challenge: show a benchmark of the benefit of D-P-F.
After a lot of distraction, I'm now in a position to build it. The core is a rather large index, and to show the effect (always assuming that I succeed) will take a machine with a large amount of RAM. One approach is for me to simply build the index involved and make it available as an index. Another would be to side-step into a giant pile of CSV or JSON and provide a do-it-yourself kit. Anyone have a preference? What have we got for hardware with, 40G of RAM? Anything, or will this be up to individuals to try out on dayjob hardware? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
