I have several htables with various amounts of data in them ranging from a couple hundred entries to a couple million entries and while the reload itself does take a bit, the vast majority of the delay is the database -> Kamailio loading time. Once the data is in there, the pointer updates haven’t been anything I’ve noticed. I’m sure it takes some measurable amount of time, but in my case it’s so imperceptible that it’s irrelevant.

Another tip for you… You’ll be tempted to crank up the fetch_rows to try to get it to load faster, but I’ve found that increasing that above 5k-ish doesn’t really seem to speed anything up and sometimes causes it to run a bit slower when importing the larger datasets. Obviously there are a lot of factors that go into that, but with a decently specced DB server and Kam server, once I started getting above 5k it did start slowing down again. Brooks Bridges 1200 S.
