Hi Ferda,

I don't remember the real reason why sweep take a long time to run if
you have a lot of duplicates, I think because the entire duplicate chain
should be reached to look for the records on the data page, I am sure
someone will jump in and explain the real reason with acuracy.

Take a look on the history, for the thread "Long running gfix - safe to
kill?" Ann has made some comments on it.

see you !
