Load average here is currenlty 1-2 (96Mb p166mmx), however I expect that will settle when nocem finished ploughing through all the old messages and only has to deal with current ones (1500-2500 a day from rough calculations). Julian, how does nocem know what message it's up to in each group it's reading and where does it store the pointers? AB
