I use a machine with Intel Xeon 2GHz and 1GHz RAM. The OS is Windows XP Pro SP2. The version of MonetDB/XQuery is 0.12.0 (download from MonetDB web, Win32 binaries).

Yes, I noticed that MapiClient.exe was still busy with shredding. I also notice that the usage of RAM was increased slowly (starting from 5MB). In addition, there was no error or warning message. I left my PC from last Friday night to Monday morning. (Now, I try to run again on another PC -- P4 2.4GHz with 512MB and WinXP -- and leave it running for tonight).
 
Thanks

Hi Erwin,

shredding dblp.xml works fine for me with MonetDB/XQuery 0.13.1 (latest CVS
version) on an Althon64 X2 with 2 GB RAM under Fedora Core 4:

Hence, could you please be more verbose about your setup?
Which version of MonetDB/XQuery are you using?
What kind of "PC" are you using (operating system, hardware)?

You say "the shredding process was not finished".
Does this mean that MonetDB/XQuery was still busy (with shredding)?
