tachyon,
I am throwing out "user nodes" so that isn't skewing the nubmers. The code can be found here. I can tell you that I initially received an old dump of the database, but that I have subsequently rebuilt and regenerated with little to no change over the daily averages. My back of the envelope math shows that this is for about 4.2 years worth of data. I freely admit I may have made a mistake, but I don't see it.

Cheers - L~R

Update: After removing "system" nodes and putting in an explicit code to drop "user" nodes, the daily average is down to 35 for a weekday and 16 for a weekend.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
