Subject: How long to Generate KRPKQ with the Tablebase Generator ????????

Author: Brian Katz

I am using an AMD Athlon XP 2600+  with 1 Gig of DDR SDRAM.

I have loaded the Convekta 9 Disc Set of Nalimov Tablebases. Some of the
Tablebase 5 man Files are missing. I used the Tablebase Generator to Generate
all of the missing files.
I noticed that the KRPKQ was taking a very long time to complete.
I cancelled, and chose to create the other remaining missing files first. This
took a few days to complete, leaving the above mentioned endgame file for last.
Although similar in size to some of the other files........KRPKQ takes forever
to generate.

I have been running this one file generation for over 48 hours. Other files,
that were similar in size took over 4 hours, but not over 48.

I have created the missing files in the past, but I do not remember if one file
took this much time last time around with the same computer.

Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

I had a copy on DVD of the Generated Tablebase files, but the copy disappeared.

I will have extra copies this next time around.


Thanks
Brian
