Does SCAN require a super-pooper-mega-powerful computer?
No. SCAN was tested on a pretty average machine (P-IV 3GHz, 1Gb RAM) managing really large document collections (tens of thousands). • Browsing the repository is slow Try to reduce a number of documents per single location. For instance, instead of adding a large directories hierarchy as a single location, it is better to add its subdirectories as the separate locations. Note that SCAN performance depends mostly on sizes of separate locations, than on a total repository size.
