Performance?

[Jonathan Melhuish]

I'm running Xindice 1.1 on an Athlon 1.8Ghz with 512Mb RAM under Apache 
Tomcat.  My system queries every record in a 4.9Mb database and outputs 
it via XML:RPC in 3.4 seconds.

Is this the sort of performance one should expect?  Or is there 
something wrong somewhere?

Cheers,
Jon
