Well, if the pkg-data ideas did not actually speed things up (as I hope they will), then that would eliminate one of the main reasons that I have been interested in investigating them. I do still suspect pkg-data would be faster, but maybe it won't be as much of a difference as I am hoping it will be. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad_at_gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih_at_rpi.eduReceived on Wed Apr 14 2004 - 16:41:38 UTC
