Unfortunately, it won't change in b1, it might change before the final release if I can find a better solution. The problem is in the

not in the Catalog itself. One of the things I'm focusing on is improving the algorithms that are used for doing globbing.
Which problem is the algorithm improvement meant to address, bulk adds or partial search performance?
I'm guessing the partial search thing, but the bulk add thing really needs to be sorted out too.
NIP'd love to move the archives at http://zope.nipltd.com/public/lists.html to a wholely Zope solution, but ZCatalog consistently exploded when we tried to do this. For now, we're working on a Zope front end into MySQL (MySQL's new full text searching stuff is pretty damn quick, maybe you could nick their algorithms? ;-)
For a similar project (http://mailarchive.activestate.com) we too use a MSSQL back end, for various reasons similar to Chris. I'm not worried about it, once upon a time I tried to stick everying in the ZODB. To me one of Zope's great strengths is it's portability and connectivity to other databases and storage systems. -- Andy McKay.
