hmm - i was hoping (you can tell i am not a coder!) that some
system like crack5.0 uses to do simple checkpoint resume might
have been possible.

but i am not very familiar with the internals of how rpm2html
works (e.g the cross referencing part) so..

hmm. you probably have more data.. though your CPU probably is
faster than mine too - i have a 50Mhz SPARC which tends to struggle
a bit.. however there are 4 of them in the machine so at least the
other 3 can keep on serving http/ftp/machine tasks.
