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
