Decay Options

Decay time is the number of milliseconds between decay events.

Touch value is the value that each URL will receive if it is hit in the log. (The value a URL will receive in count when someone browses to the URL.)

Decay equation is the equation that controls how the count field is updated every time there is a decay event. The variable decay will take on the value 1, 2, 3, 4, ..., n for every time a decay event has occurred for this URL. If a URL is touched (visited) again decay will reset to 1, and of course the count field is updated with Touch value. If the count field reaches 0 or below, the URL is removed from the table.
