Yes and no. In the 3.1.x releases (and before), you can run htdig
with the -t option to generate an ASCII database. But you can't load
it. In the 3.2 betas, you can use the htdump/htload utilities to do
this. (But I'd be pretty careful operating in this fashion.)

Sure. That's one reason you can use htmerge to merge databases. Of
course there are limits to the speedup this way--for one, you have
five processes eating up CPU and network and disk time. So, for
example, if you're limited by the speed of your network connection or
the speed of your disk, you may not see much speed improvement at all.
