I had occasion today to completely reindex my site for the search index. A nice little module Reindex (http://drupal.org/project/reindex) came to the rescue it uses the 6.x batch API rather than Cron, I was able to completely re-index in a very short time..

The thought then struck me that maybe a similar option might be made available for Links Checker. Allowing for rapid initial link collection and analysis, (accepted there may be a server performance hit).

Well, already thought about this... may change in future. I thought it can take 100.000 batches to complete on big sites... this is why it haven't been done yet + batch API doesn't update the title what is misleading and you might wonder why it scans again and again for 30 minutes or so your node content... see #368742: Batch title does not update on second batch_set()

I will look forward to the future then, once the other issues are resolved. :)

Wrong case, reverting status back.

I do not like to implement this as it would only bloat the code and easy to solve via command line. You can reduce the wait delay by running Drupals cron url with wget in an loop.

For e.g. on Windows:

for /l %i IN (1,1,10) do wget --spider http://example.com/cron.php"
