for those in the know re the programming and speed of processing using sa-compile...
it appears the fules compile fast without the sought ruleset applied. and time to compile increases by roughly (very rough) a factor of 10 with sought ruleset applied. is that time extra time spent strictly in the cpu and ram cycles or are their other slower factors involved? is the processing by sa-compile serial or can it be paralleled out to many processors at the same time? sorry, i dont know and havent looked at the code. what i am wondering is how much processing speed or how many processors does one have to throw at it to get it down "substantially" and then equate that to a new server box in costs so to speak :-) - rh
