Hi all, I have an htdig 3.1.6 installation that has been running just fine on an older version of Redhat Linux, 7.2 or so. It's on an old (about four years) Dell server, so not very impressive iron. It does have SCSI drives in a RAID array (don't know the exact configuration). I tried moving this setup to a Mac Mini running Yellow Dog Linux. rundig ran in a reasonable amount of time (I can't make a direct comparison because it was running in Portland and pulling the pages it was indexing off a server in Boston, so a longer run time was to be expected). However, searches are *slow*. A search that took 4 seconds on the Redhat system (not exactly speedy itself) takes 30 seconds or longer on the Yellow Dog system. I know the Mac has less RAM, but as far as I know it was never swapping so that shouldn't be an issue. It has slower IDE drives, but they are not in a RAID array so that's probably a wash. And the processor is much faster, at least twice the speed. So what gives? Is there something different in Yellow Dog Linux vs RedHat? Any suggestions on what the problem might be or even how to figure it out would be much appreciated. thanks, janine ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
