has anyone experienced less performance with SQLite 3.0.7 over 2.8.13 on the same data? That is what I am experiencing. I'd appreciate help in figuring out why and perhaps what I can do about it.



SQLite 3.0 requires less disk I/O at the expense of using more CPU cycles. So if you have a fast disk and a slow CPU, SQLite 3.0 might well be slower. On the other hand, a slow disk connected to a fast CPU will make SQLite 3.0 faster. On my 3-year-old Athlon with an 7200RPM IDE disk, SQLite 2.8 and 3.0 are about the same speed. But I figured that CPUs tend to increase in speed more rapidly that disk drives, so it was best to optimize for a faster CPU.

Might this explain the result you are seeing?  Do you (perhaps) have an
older CPU and/or an exceptionally fast disk drive?
