Mirko,

Your numbers appear close to the testing we did (compare OPAC search 
3.08.05 and 3.18.3) in January this year (see 
<http://navalmarinearchive.com/z_koha/>) -- you obviously use 3.22 and a 
different database (how many biblios? and how many results found? I tested, 
by varying the search string, for anywhere between 0 and 25540 "results 
found" in a db with ~26k biblios and 50k items -- details on our website as 
above.)

I could try and assist with 3.08 on a fast server (*not* a Raspberry Pi ;={ 
) if there's any advantage to you (I'd try it on a production back-up 
server, hopefully minimum disruption, but would probably need your scripts 
and db.) While I no longer have NYTProf installed, I could do any "lesser" 
testing, or maybe even reinstall it...

But then again, maybe the numbers I posted are sufficient for your comparisons?

As you so diplomatically suggest in your first email on this subject, the 
search speed was the deciding factor that keeps us on 3.08 (now release 24) 
-- we just couldn't envision twenty second searches in production.

Best regards -- Paul
