I get some 2500 mails I need to archive each month, and the mails are archived into monthly nnml folders. If I try to build a single swish-e database, the size of the databse becomes so huge that swish_e struggles to add anything to it. I can hear the disk churning - and there is constant page faults, so adding any new month to the database is impractical. As an alternative, I have monthly swish_e databases, and search using nnir. Is there a better way of doing it? I would like to find out some other use cases of nnir/swish_e that perform better than what I have - given a similar volume of mails to search. -p -- Pranav Tiwari.
