No, it seems a bit much. My main server has about 1500 hosts in it,
and spends 4 seconds loading that file (actually, it is split into
about 30 files). If you look at the "bbgen" status, what's the time
reported for the "Load bbhosts done" line ?
From bbgen:
Load bbhosts done 1112648694.989501 0.178303
OK, that's interesting - because it means that the code that does the
basic parsing of the file is pretty fast, and the code that handles
the network test setup is awfullly slow.
I hadn't noticed that before, but I looked at my own servers now and
there is a difference between the time for loading the bb-hosts file
for just bbgen and for bbtest-net (1 second vs. 4 seconds in my
case). I wonder why ... it something I'll need to look at one day.
