Hmmm. Mine's a whimpy 233Mhz PII :^(

Erm? Something like 20*233/800 = 5.825 plus some factor for greater efficiency of PIII v PII. To close too call without proper benchmarking I think (he clutches at a straw).

It would be interesting to

  1. see how GDBM scales, I've no concept.
  2. to add a third char to the indexing of mine (maybe tomorrow).
  3. get them both running on the same box

I must admit, when I said dbm, I was thinking RDMB (MySQL) rather (what I assume) is a B-tree DBM or similar. Never having used GDBM, I am very surprised at that performance. I guess I should keep my thoughts inward:^).

Nice one++.

Nah! Your thinking of Simon Templar, originally played by Roger Moore and later by Ian Ogilvy
