Sweep is mostly read-only operation which is known to cause intolerable slowdown. Everybody turn it off because of that. You are suggesting to run read-write operation on whole database concurrently.

At least - faster one. -- SY, SD. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ridiculously easy VDI.
