How Long Should It Take To Make A Blast Database?

Hi there,

It's been some time since this question was made and I would like to know how fast the latest version from makeblastdb is.

I have a 104.9 MB fasta-formatted file with nucleotide sequences, the corresponding file with masking information (made with dustmasker) is 3.8 MB. I am running NCBI-BLAST-2.2.25+ in MacOS X 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7 with 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3.

The process with makeblastdb is taking 100% of the CPU and has been running for a bit more than an hour.

I would appreciate hearing your about your experience with this latest version.

Greetings!

M&M
