There is a Paypal donate button at the bottom of the home page on
mysticbbs.com if you are interested.

Most tasks should be completing in a fraction of one second, not 4 hours. What
process and disk are you using?  If for example you're using an SD card and
regenereating all your databases then you are probably hardware bottlenecked
by the read speed of the disk.  In that case nothing I can do will improve
that.

The first thing I see is that the packing functions aren't something you run
all day every day, or even once daily.  They are things that should be ran
manually once every so often - maybe once a month. But even so, those things
should take seconds to complete if you're not disk bottlenecked.

Purging can be run more often but its still not really something you'd want to
run throughout the day.

Here's the output of my BBS executing on a 5 year old laptop that has an SSD
drive on it with a message base that hasn't been purged or packed for probably
6+ months (so you'll see lots of work to be done).  The entire thing even when
doing a monthly maint execution takes seconds.  Your every day tasks should be
completing in fractions of a second.
