Would you be willing to share some more details on this PHP setup? What
is the backend comprised of for spidering etc?

How many machines and is there a URL that we could check things out at?

Just curious...:)

Well, even that won't do... I tried running up to 500 threads, but that
simply slowed everything down even more. MySQL is on a seperate box and
s.cgi is not required yet, because I'm still indexing and not providing
search access yet.

Indeed... might as well tell your visitors the search results aren't
good.

Anyway, not a problem for me anymore, since I've stopped using aspseek
and built my own system in PHP, so I can spread the load over our
webserver farm... works like a charm !
