Can I Slow the Indexing Down? Crashing the site....

[Anonymous]

I know it sounds like a strange request, but there are SQL issues with the site I am trying to index, and the Zoom indexer does just a good (fast) job that It causes the site to crash via a SQL timeout problem.

I have switched it to run in SINGLE THREADED mode, but it stills screams through the site.

Is there a way to slow the indexer down? To like maybe 3 pages per second or something? Any registry, file changes i can make to accomplish this?

I guess you realise that if you site doesn't work with Zoom running a single thread, then it is also not going to work for Google, Yahoo or when you have a few normal human users browsing your site.

So it is better to fix the bug with your site rather than cripple Zoom.

If you really needed to you could add a delay in a script on your site. e.g. your PHP script accesses your database but then sleeps for 500ms before returning the result to the browser.

Yea, im aware that the problem isn't with Zoom ;) But the problem is that the server is a client's and they are unwilling/unable to fix their DB timeout issues. Ugh.
