Yes I'am but I'm a little short on time ,-)) In fact I'm glad to d'l a
ready-to-run archive for Debian Woody. In two weeks I'll have some time to
check this issue with my own compiled versions, until then I'm just
interested ,-))
Today I upgraded to 7.4.3 from 7.4.1 but this did not change anything real.
Do you have numbers in respect to speed (rows per second) for comparison
available. I.e. dump on a single CPU machine which quite fast drives?
