Hi,
I'm running 2.11 pl 8 on HP9000/300 with HP-UX 6.2.
I have about 60,000 articles on-line, and my history files (I
have SystemV "history.d/[0-9]" files) total up to about 4Mb.
I'm considering to use dbm in the news software, hoping this will
speed things up. I rebuilt the dbm history file, which grew to
more than 8 Mb in size. Is this normal? Since only the article ID
and the history file position are kept in the dbm file, I would
have expected it to be 50-60% of the history file size.
Johan
