Yes, of course, but I never felt the need to time the operations, we
are using a udf ... to load documents into the database.
I will try to find the time to check this with some big mp3's.
Frank, many thanks for your response, example UDF and testing. I will
certainly try to implement the UDF later today.
Yesterday I tried the same IBPP code on Windows 8 and it is much faster
for files ~10Mb in size, but I also tested 500Mb video and performance
was similar to Linux at that size. As well as my IBPP code, I also
tested FlameRobin, Database Workbench and FSQL on Windows all with
broadly similar results.
Unfortunately apart from FlameRobin I couldn't find any simple way to
load a blob on Linux, so your UDF will be a good comparison for me to make.
I found this interesting blog but unfortunately the code linked to is no
longer available.

Thanks again....Mike
