A linear full text search require ~30 seconds on disk (~35MB) and 7 seconds if cached in memory. Glimpse would not help. Glimpse put the 6000 filenames into 256 blocks, thats 24 files per block. A search for a word which exists once require to open (in average) 24 files. A search for a word which exists in 10 PRs require to open ~200 files ;-( -- Wolfram Schneider <wosch@freebsd.org> http://www.freebsd.org/~wosch/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
