Hi,

I'm testing the mirroring script for new version of postgresql.org and the 
results are *interesting*:

Oct 31 10:11:32 mirror [info] Mirroring finished. 423 page(s) saved, 1226 
second(s) spent

~3 seconds per page is a bit too much, don't you think? Also please note that it 
took ~20 minutes to save the pages *not including* the documentation, which is 
*several thousand* pages in size!

Here are the results for mirroring of just 7.4 "interactive" docs:

Oct 31 11:12:46 mirror [info] Mirroring finished. 603 page(s) saved, 2716 
second(s) spent

That's >4 seconds per page...

These are the pages from wwwdevel, but as www and wwwdevel are on one box 
physically, you get the unpleasant picture. It actually worked faster on my test 
server and that is P2-233. Also please note that today is Sunday, I doubt it 
will be faster on weekday.

Dunno about you, but if that was my site I'd already be searching for another 
hosting. I'm sure that some hosters will be glad to even donate that to 
PostgreSQL project.
