Hello Bengt,

you're right and I'm already working on a solution which addresses this
issue. However, it'll require a change of the snapshot format and really
extensive testing, so be patient. Or better, jump in if you're a
programmer :)

I don't understand exactly what you mean. Could you explain it?

Maybe, you should try to use uncompressed snapshots. Depending on your
data, snapshots become bigger though access is much faster.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Best regards.
Jean-Peer
