[Xapian-discuss] Performance question

[Jim Lynch]

Where is "delve" ?  I can't find that command in omega or xapian.

This is running on an older SGI 2 processor Mips  box.  The file system 
is a scsi raid system.  The system is dedicated to this activity so 
nothing of any consequence is running on it.

Jim.
