Hi David,
We are currently drafting both technical docs and user guides which aren't yet available, but I'll comment here.
The server requirements are now to have 256 MB memory available to allocate to the IPT reduced from the previous 1GB minimum and 2GB preferred. The import speed is related to both server CPU performance and hardrive speed for the IPT machine, and then any databases involved and the network to connect to them, so it is really very difficult to quantify. The minimum requirements would be the ability to run Java 5 and allocate 256 MB of memory though.
I hope this helps, Tim

The IPT development team are pleased to invite you to participate in the testing of the re-engineered and simplified IPT. The revised IPT is the result of a re-engineering effort of the 1.0 version of the IPT, specifically to: - Reduce the server requirements significantly (...) The result is an IPT that:
- is less than 12MB
- starts in only a few seconds
- supports fast import (1 million records in 15 seconds or so)
(...)
Tim, is this reduction of hardware requirements documented somewhere? What minimum hardware is required now? What hardware is needed for the fast start/fast import mentioned?
Thanks a lot
David
