The updates are done pattern style every few minutes. Worst case, you'll have a 15 minute window of disparity between a live result and an on disk result. However, as always there is a choice. Overloaded smaller boxes dont have the memory for this feature, and if they are already tasked with intensive reporting or logging/accounting you'll stress the disk even further. But we feel that giving you the most options is the best way!
As to the delay, its not weekly or even daily, so there is no downside there. enjoy the feature, it will be WebAdmin-official and integrated in 8.200.
Warper yes, good questions. Database isn't too large, as mentioned, a few hundred megs. For a 320 with 2gig ram, this would really depend on what else your doing on the unit, if you have constantly 512 megs free, go for it, in my own testing, there isnt a huge difference between disk and mem unless the disk is already quite taxed.
Oh , feel free to post feedback, I'm sure sven and others would be interested in your results!
Ok so I couldn't wait for the next beta either so I setup the database on the disk since my home astaro is ancient with 1GB ram. So far its chugging along with all services including vpn, mail, http proxy and ips. I have attached a couple of screenshots for virtual memory usage of the http proxy below. I was swapping at 1gb already so this might become a problem after a few days of running but I will deal with it at that time[;)]
So far my time is from 0-250 ms for requests. Not bad but I have a low latency connection at home anyways and I usually stayed around 300-500ms range before the local database conversion.
