and alex must be doing something right or you wouldn't be posting on this board! :~)
An IndexFinger customer came to me wanting to try Links because of poor performance. Trouble was, he needed to convert his files over to Links format.
I created the script, did the conversion, and handed off the new database. The results were pretty incredible! With IndexFinger, his 4,000 link database:
- Took 2.5 MB of disk space.
- Required 6,500+ data files.
- Took 4 hours to build all the categories.
- Took 10-15 minutes to perform a search.
Once converted to Links:
- Took 1.2 MB of disk space.
- Required 4 data files.
- Took 10 minutes to build.
- Took 8-12 seconds to search.
Nuff said. Here's the script, I'd urge you to try it out now.
just thought you might want to see how "great" indexfinger is..not!
