Using the "super-ball" from February. I am running some queries, and just want to check if my performance is sane. Are there more indexes I can ask to get built to increase performance? I don't ask for an accurate verification, just a hint of whether or not we are within an order of magnitude of what seems right :) $ Mserver --dbinit="module(pathfinder);" --set mapi_port=60000 $ echo 'pf:add-doc("path/dblp.xml", "dblp.xml")' | mclient --lx -p60000 --time Timer 73068.138 msec $ echo 'pf:documents()' | mclient -lx -p60000 <document updatable="false" url="path/dblp.xml" collection="dblp.xml">dblp.xml</document> $ cat dblp_q7.xq count(doc("dblp.xml")/dblp/*[author="Michael Stonebraker" and author="Hector Garcia-Molina" and year > 1950 ]/title) $ mclient -lx -p 60000 --time < dblp_q7.xq 4 Timer 15512.186 msec (Repeated multiple times for warm-up) My dblp.xml is 441 MB.
