Default Re: AP infinity plus one - New AP Statement

Call me crazy-ape-bonkers, folks, but 30 Gig per month seems awful high for HH. It's nothing special: a bog-standard text file, not many gaps, I mean - 30 gig per month?

Can someone who knows more than I do confirm that's a realistic figure?

A typicaly hand history in raw text format is about 1K, so 30GB would be 30 million hands. Based on hand histories I've seen posted, the hand numbers increased from about 750m on 9/1 to 778m on 10/1, or 28 million in a month. So 30GB sounds dead on, actually. If you compressed the hands (like with ZIP), they'd probably only take 5GB or so. If you left them in a database, they would take more than the 30GB.

I don't know if their play money hand histories use the same numbering scheme, so the 28m may or may not include play money.
