[Orca-dev] Is unzipping the percol files during every run necessary

[Jones, Chris]

Hi,
 
I have a problem with the time it's currently taking to process collected data..........  
 
We have 2000+ clients most of which have been collecting data for years, as a result it takes a many DAYS to process and update the RRD and HTML files......
 
The machine I'm using has multiple CPU's and more than enough memory but given Orca only makes use of a single CPU the processing is painfully slow. Surely we could speed things up by moving the old percol files into an archive directory after each invocation (-o -v). Is this possible?? Do we really need to unzip everything each time or should the RRD files contain the relevant historical data and thus only need updating with newly collected information?
 
Also, has anyone done any development to make Orca utilise multiple CPUs as this would help immensely......
 
Thanks,
Chris Jones.
