Help me test the limits of Tcl performance.

I'm running a usenet archive search engine that makes
heavy use of Tcl code and I'd like to get some folks to
pound on it and see how it does.

It's an enormous database of over 2 million documents.

You can get to it via the www at http://www.dejanews.com

It's a searchable usenet archive that probably has many
of the answers that people are looking here for.

To see what I mean, run the following query:
itcl & widget*

Pound on it a bit and then let me know what kind of
response you get.

Thanks.

Steve Madere

Seems to work ok, it finds some of my postings from 15 years ago
pretty quickly. Is this a Google project? What part does Tcl play in
it?

But email to the OP bounces back, and his post is dated 1995.
Has this announcement been recycled from then ???

Not recycled, just dug out by Moses' response to a 16-year-old post.

If my memory serves me correctly, Google bought the dejanews stuff, then rewrote the front end multiple times, creating google groups.

Correct, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Groups
