What hardware resources does Texis need?
Resource requirements depend on the database structure, record count, record sizes, query complexity, and of course any other functionality handled at the application (script) layer. As a benchmark, a Texis database containing one million records of typical web page content can serve typical web-search queries at a sustained rate of at least 10 per second on a single-CPU Unix server with 1GB RAM. The biggest single variable affecting performance is usually RAM, which will be used for index caching. Disk space needs are approximately the ASCII text size of the content plus 20 percent for basic full-text indexes. The space needed for indexes could be up to several times more for applications requiring additional or more detailed indexes.
