Re: All-Perl search engine having speed issues

"With a one-word search i benchmarked to about 7520 queries per second."

"...the speed seems to almost fall in half or at least by a third with each added keyword to search for."

"A 6 word search gives about 3420 queries per second."

The mathametician within me is itching to ask...

"How does 7520 *((2/3)^6) come anywhere near 3420? Wouldn't that be nearer 660?"

just my ~~.09~~ ~~.05~~ .02

Can't feel too bad about nit picking a nit..... "each added keyword" would imply (2/3)^5 wouldn't it? ;-) -Blake	[reply]
