Well, if the pkg-data ideas did not actually speed things up (as I hope they will), then that would eliminate one of the main reasons that I have been interested in investigating them. I do still suspect pkg-data would be faster, but maybe it won't be as much of a difference as I am hoping it will be. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
