Megabytes :-)
tested in 7.1
The inserts slow down if there are too much not-committed inserts
pending. But, I'm only sure about the time for the insert statement
itself, and not the complete time -- perhaps a final commit is faster
then the sum of a lot of commits in between.
At my test, I used two insert per object, and each object needed about
35 milliseconds (on P2/350 MHz) at each table size. If i inserted ~15000
obejcts in one transaction, the insertion time for each request slows
down to ~200 milliseconds at the end.
So, I guess this has to be tested in detail again ;)
Ciao
