[webmin-devel] Berkeley DB

Sending this to the general list and devel lists as some experienced Perl
programmers do not belong to the devel list.

I am trying to update the squidGuard module to read directly from and write
directly to the squidGuard db files.  I am using DB_File and do have code
that works.  Trying to list the entire 48536 porn domains is slower than
molasses and slower than reading directly from text files.  I expect latency
from my PII 450 test box and the number of domains, but this is kind of
ridiculous.

1) Is it normal that the read from a db file takes longer than a text file?
2) Any general suggestions on reading/writing to db files?
3) Does code already exist in Webmin that I might be better served looking
at?

Thanks for your time!
