I can't say.

the linkcheck code is going much slower than I expected. I haven't
gotten much chance to optimize it (although I'm using a O(1) lookup,
so I'm not sure how it can be that much faster). I have 3.4GB of
linkcheck reports so far, but it's still got a ways to go.

I think $12.5K should certainly be enough to finish what we discussed
for phase 1.

Same to you! Wishing you the best of luck...
