It's a while since I did the original tests, but I just carried out
another one.
However, I now have only 832 messages in OE5 compared to 160k
messages in Eudora. A search for "IP Address" took OE5 35 seconds to
find 5 hits. Eudora took 95 seconds to find 1076 hits. So, in this
test OE5 searched a little less than 24 messages per second, Eudora
searched 1,679 messages per second. The hit rate (in percentage of
messages hit) is not a long way different between OE & Eudora.
I recall that last time, with about 1500 messages in OE (and probably
around 100,000 in Eudora at that time) that eudora actually took less
time to complete a search of the full database.
