  I have it running solid on 20010222 since about 10am that morning. At
least on Linux (several kernels). I will have to put it on AIX soon, not
something I relish.

  I do note that mlock()ing hash, or hash+index doesn't seem to buy me
anything in terms of performance, but overall it's running better than
anything else I have, and I have no short term plans to upgrade for a
bit. Using the development version for production is a last attempt to
keep up with 3500MB/sec and slow disk.
