My impression is that most files have few records and don't change much, so the mask size doesn't make that much difference. The number of active records in the few 'busy' files would seem to vary greatly with the number of clients, but I imagine a smaller mask size would work a little better for most sites. The major penalty for too large a mask size is that it tends to accumulate more 'deleted' records, so tdb_traverse slows down some. Having too small a hash mask slows down fetch and store operations as you get more records in the same hash chain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- David L.
