Oh, it didn’t use a database! It was just streaming audio data from the filesystem. (And Final Cut was just streaming video frames to the filesystem.) My point is that the disk-controller flush invoked by SQLite’s commit caused the entire filesystem to become unavailable for tens-to-hundreds of milliseconds at a time, and when I started doing that multiple times a second, it would sometimes starve iTunes’ audio threads of data, causing dropouts. —Jens _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
