 AS> Where we can donate like paypal or somthing?

There is a Paypal donate button at the bottom of the home page on mysticbbs.com
if you are interested.

 AS> Is there as well a change to get with A49 Multi Core and Multi Thread
 AS> Support for Mystic BBS? Right now my Problem is that mutil with the
 AS> maint.ini runs more then 4h every Day.

Most tasks should be completing in a fraction of one second, not 4 hours. What
process and disk are you using?  If for example you're using an SD card and
regenereating all your databases then you are probably hardware bottlenecked by
the read speed of the disk.  In that case nothing I can do will improve that.

 AS>     PurgeMessageBases  = true
 AS>     PackMessageBases   = true
 AS>     MergeNodeLists     = true
 AS>     PackFileBases      = true
 AS>     LinkMessages       = true
 AS>     FileSort           = true 
 AS>     PurgeUserBase      = true
 AS>     PackUserBase       = true 

The first thing I see is that the packing functions aren't something you run all
day every day, or even once daily.  They are things that should be ran manually
once every so often - maybe once a month. But even so, those things should take
seconds to complete if you're not disk bottlenecked.

Purging can be run more often but its still not really something you'd want to
run throughout the day.

Here's the output of my BBS executing on a 5 year old laptop that has an SSD
drive on it with a message base that hasn't been purged or packed for probably
6+ months (so you'll see lots of work to be done).  The entire thing even when
doing a monthly maint execution takes seconds.  Your every day tasks should be
completing in fractions of a second.
