[Pkg-db-devel] Bug#417204: db4.5_load manual page should recommend sorting the input

[Frederik Eaton]

Package: libdb4.5
Version: 4.5.20-1
Severity: minor

I find that when I sort the input (by key, of course) to db4.5_load,
it runs about 200 times faster. If the time to do the sorting is
included, then the speed-up is closer to 100, but it is still enough
of a speed-up that I think the manual page should recommend that users
try sorting their input. Also, the resulting database file is about
1/3 smaller.
