Do you invoke mhonarc for each new message for a list or do you queue up messages for a given list (over a specified period) before invoking mhonarc for the list?
Neither. The algorithm is to receive mail for a bunch of archives. When mhonarc is invoked, it batches as many messages (for a given archive) as are available. A single loop invokes mhonarc again and again. This approach scales very gracefully because a big message backlog leads to more batch processing. Wednesday I invoked mhonarc 12352 times, of which 7932 runs were for singleton messages. Average latency from message reception to archival hovered around two hours. I'm interested in reducing this latency, and even a small speed increase for mhonarc would help. Jeff
