I've been using htdig 3.1.6 on Mac OSX 10.3.9, and I'm very pleased with its performance in all but one area: The actual digs take a very long time. My database is about 2.5 GB in size, and it takes almost 3 days to do a new dig. The server that is running the dig has plenty of power (the htdig process only consumes a small portion of CPU power, and there is memory and idle processor power to spare).
I think I've traced the problem to the speed with which htdig downloads data while digging. When I monitor network activity, I find that htdig is only downloading data at speeds averaging around 20KB/s. My network should allow me to achieve speeds well in excess of that. Other processes running on the server achieve connection speeds in the hundreds of KB/s. Is there anyway for me to coax faster digging out of htdig so that it can utilize more of my bandwith? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks for your great work with htdig. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: NEC IT Guy Games.
