Hmm, I seem to have a backlog of over 3000 messages right now, which is a lot for this time of day. I can think of two possibilities for the slowdown. One is that increased load is slowing things down. I just backed off the search engine indexing to every other day instead of daily - we'll see if that helps. The other possibility was a bug fix on July 15 involving mail that is carbon copied to multiple archived lists. The "slow and careful" code didn't work very well under load and wasn't doing it's job. The fix may have slowed down throughput. Or maybe something else is happening. I'll take a look. >instead of hierchical? organization to cope with the archive >holding many mailing list, we could have something like >dejanews's old "interest finder". i type in a word, say >"shark", and a list of newsgroups (or messages) appear that >contain discussions of sharks. That sounds like an excellent automatic solution to the wading-though-thousands-of-lists problem. I like it. Unfortunately, I'm not sure I have the computational horsepower to search across all the archived lists. Jeff
