Eyeballing your root node figures they are double the reality. ie you find and average of 50 new root nodes during the week and 25 on the weekend. Actually root nodes (not inculding new user root nodes) are more like 25 during the week and 12 on the weekend. We only get that many new nodes if you are including the new users nodes.

    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.
