It is better on resources to have updates performed via cron, especially for large archives. Although mhonarc supports adding messages as they go in, I personally advice against this approach since it adds more risk for problems to occur and does not work well for high-traffic mailing lists. The FAQ provides a start on how to process ezmlm archives. For performance, you can write a front-end that stats directories and only passes the directories to mhonarc that have been modified within last X seconds/minutes/hours/whatever to avoid unnecessary scanning of older directories. --ewh
