My experience is that synch time is highly dependent on the number of
records as opposed to the size of the records. I used to have a database
with several thousand very short records that took forever to transfer on a
synch. I changed my design to combine the data into just a few records of
several thousand bytes each, with my program internally handling the details
of the "logical records" that are inside the database records. It was just a
bit more coding to handle this, but it now synchs more than 10 times faster!
