This should solve all the random harvesting :> performance issues no matter how efficient or inefficient the hash :> function (untested as I do not have a -current box at the moment). : :Erm, you are behind :-) : :I have already committed something that does this in a much more :configurable way. : :M : Mark, something like this doesn't REQUIRE any configuration!!!
