Hi, Today I tried to shred a XML document of 1.6 giga bytes using mclient and it took more than 3 hours (~150 kb/s) on a quite fast machine. I was a bit suprised. because for smaller documents shredding is quite fast. Are these numbers expected? I know that it can be hard to say something about this case without the document itself. So I'm currently working to anonymize the document, but what is the prefered way to get the document to the CWI?
