Reformatted excerpts from Guillaume Quintard's message of 2009-07-27: > The big question is: is it interesting, as a user, to switch? :-)
Yes. It's noticeably faster than Ferret, especially for loading large threads in thread-index-mode. (Which isn't Xapian per se, but other improvements Rich has made). It's also much larger on disk, though there might be a way to trim that down. At some point I want to deprecate Ferret, since it's unmaintained, so you'll be forced to switch. No timeline on that though. -- William <wmorgan-...@masanjin.net> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
