glimpseserver memory usage

[Sam Tregar <sam@tregar.com>]

Hello all.  I've got a question about glimpseserver.  The man pages seems
to suggest the glimpseserver reads the index into memory and uses the
in-memory copy to serve searches quickly.  This sounds great, but it
doesn't seem to be happening.  I have a 100MB index but the memory usage
for glimpseserver never gets above 4MB or so.  I therefore doubt that it
is really reading the index into memory.  Does anyone know if there is any
way to get glimpseindex to actually read the index into memory?

Oh, and while I'm here: has anyone gotten the USE_UNIXSOCKETS option
working?  Was this an abandoned development path or is there something
working hidden here?  It seems to me that using unix sockets could provide
a small but real performance improvement for searches running against
local glimpseservers.

Thanks!
