It's unfortunate that major changes are made without public consultation and then only halfway. "make fetchindex" runs on the order of a minute for my machine (1 Mbit/s link), but I'm definitely not using "make index" on my K6-2/300. It's about time for a _fast_ index generator, or a cache so that only changed records are replaced. INDEX has been an annoyance ever since but no-one has a decent solution how ports can do without. -- Matthias Andree
