[Sks-devel] Big amount of updated keys yesterday?

[Sebastian Wiesinger]

Hello,

yesterday I noticed that my SKS Server was constantly updating it's
key database for over an hour. This also showed in the stats:

2011-04-11 21   62      3419
2011-04-11 20   2       3597
2011-04-11 19   9       505
2011-04-11 18   19      18

Does anyone know what happened yesterday and where the updates came
from?

Also this took over an hour and almost exclusively used all the I/O to
the disks in the system. Is there a way to increase the performance
for updates in the key db?

Regards,

Sebastian
