It isn't. A sizable fraction of all software development is done for devices with under a megabyte of RAM. (IoT and embedded are huge markets.) And remember, we're talking on the email forum for a library that's heavily used on that scale of hardware. And even on bigger systems, L1 and L2 caches are small: Intel's i7 Haswell CPUs have 32KB and 512KB per core, respectively. Remember, "overflowing cache" is the new "VM thrash" — RAM is absurdly slow compared to CPU speeds. —Jens _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
