Re: Planet Dumps (NOW new and improved - 08 June 2004)

were talking of an assumed bandwith use of ~130 mb per month, compared to 52 mb per month with an assumed average compression of 60% using bzip2. for the cost of a couple seconds cpu time and about 10 seconds implementation time.

just for the example assuming 10 possible entities that hourly retrieve the files and were talking of ~800 mb bandwith saving for pa/jolt and ~80 mb bandwith saving for each of the retrievers per month. and all it takes is adding bzip filename at the end of your crontab entry doing the dumps. heh.

not worth it?
