Yikes! What is that? Indexing time? Search time?
Indexing time.
Sorry, stripped off the original detail. I was trying to get a global
search for all my mailboxes by pointing htdig at my webmail application.
So what I end up with is a web search engine that returns links into
webmail. Works, friendlier than "grep whatever mail/.mix*", but indexing
too slow for real world use.
The slowness is almost all in htdig (the indexing robot). It's
single-threaded, and when it was written hammering websites at >>
2 requests/minute was considered rude.
