Using %spinfile-<filename>% for a big size file

system0102 · January 2014

Anyone knows if SER slows down when the macro %spinfile-<filename>% is used with a big file?

I pulled together a list of keywords of different languages in one file which is weighing now about 40 mb. I was thinking to split into a smaller chunks and use %spinfolder% macro but all those file splitting tools do not keep the encoding and some letters are turning into weird signs.

So was wondering if I eventually end up with a 100mb keyword file, would it affect the scraping speed by using %spinfile-<filename>% on such a large file?

The size had no influence.

you can split up your files with https://forum.gsa-online.de/discussion/comment/39472/#Comment_39472 for example

Thanks @Sven

@Kaykay thanks man, I have your tool and use it occasionally but it doesn't keep the encoding when splitting the file. And that's why I asked the question. But Sven said it doesn't matter so I won't bother splitting it up
