ets traversal time

[Joel Reymont]

I have a table with 20k entries that I'm traversing like this:

     Msg1 = {message, iolist_to_binary(mochijson2:encode(JSON))},
     F = fun({Pid, _}, _) -> Pid ! Msg1 end,
     F1 = fun() ->
                  A = now(),
                  ets:foldr(F, ignore, State#state.subs),
                  io:format("time: ~p~n", [timer:now_diff(now(), A) /  
1000])
          end,
     spawn_link(F1),

It takes me twice as long to traverse the table the second time around.

Any suggestions as to why and how to fix this?

	Thanks, Joel
