[p4] Is a 1500 line protect table excessive?

[Ivey, William]

I'd think so.

 

I'm looking at the protect table of a server I wasn't the admin of and

it is right around 1500 lines (all groups). Looks like the only 

wildcarded path sections are the usual trailing /...

 

Some of the lines are probably obsolete and a lot of them can

be replaced by making some groups sub-groups of others which

would replace three protect lines by two at least.

 

Does anyone have a feel for the performance impact this might

have if we could cut it down by 30-40%? (Is it worth doing a major

overhaul in the short term vs. whittling it down over time?)

 

Thanks.
