[Xapian-discuss] multiple database search performance

[Richard Boulton]

This is not what I'd expect at all; searching across multiple
databases has a small overhead but shouldn't really be significantly
slower than searching the component databases.  Either you're doing
something wrong, or there's a bug.

Let's try and work out which.  For starters:

When you say you're searching across multiple databases, are you
searching across them locally, or using the remote database protocol?
What OS and version of Xapian are you using?
