[Roundup-users] roundup-admin reindex in 0.7.7

[Ralf S. <sch...@tt...>]

I'm currently running a "roundup-admin reindex" on a database where I've
imported around 100.000 issues with a custom schema. I have added the
"indexme" parameter to around 10 strings in the schema. The reindex is
now running for 5 *days* without an end in sight.
Before I look into the code:
- Is the reindexing really that slow?
- Are there improvements in the upcoming 0.8?
- How can I help to improve the situation :-)

Note that I have imported the data via a hand-coded script that uses the
same interface as the roundup-admin import would use. Since importing
took very long with all the indexed strings, I have commented out the
indexes during import and re-enabled them afterwards, hoping to get
better performance indexing all in one go.

Importing with all the indexme strings took about 20 seconds for 100
items while with disabled indexmes it took about .5 seconds.

If there are improvements with .8 I'll gladly test my import and
indexing with that version -- if it is sufficiently stable to try.
