D'oh! I just realised I failed to mention something that almost
certainly has a bearing on my test timings...

The 100-meg database is comprised of a little over a million records:
5 fields of test data (pk integer, firstname, phone, country...)
filled with random-but-relevent data.

In light of the number of records, is 16 min for a sweep on the setup
below acceptable and in line with expectations?

It's also strange that a backup on this db takes about two minutes
(ditto for restore) since a sweep is also part of that process.

Regards,
Andrew Ferguson
