From: utzoo!decvax!cca!mclure@sri-unix Newsgroups: net.news.b Title: query about uurec Article-I.D.: sri-unix.2232 Posted: Thu Jul 22 01:48:49 1982 Received: Sun Jul 25 10:50:30 1982 For news 2.7, 2.8: uurec processes each of our incoming Usenet articles (we get our articles over the Arpanet from CCA). Each uurec takes about 1 minute of real-time and 15 seconds cpu, generally, on an unloaded 11/70. We're running the ittvax!swatt sequencer code, but the times above were similar before we inserted that code into gename.c in the uucp sources. My question is this. Has anyone else done timings on uurec/uux? It would seem a trivial task to insert the article in the proper location in the /usr/spool/news heirarchy, create the appropriate files in /usr/spool/uucp, etc. I can't understand why these seemingly minor tasks should consume so much time. Any news/uucp wizards out there willing to speculate? Stuart
