Jay,
I think you are right - it's the syncing that's taking too long.
Turning that off speeds things up substantially (see below for
details). Turning it off works for my requirements as it would
require an OS crash to corrupt my db.
I wonder if this timing profile is characteristic of the OSX builds
or all builds... so if anyone has a similar test they would like to
share, I'm curious.
Details - Timings after manipulating synchronicity...
I just retested using different settings for the
PRAGMA synchronous flag (http://www.sqlite.org/pragma.html)
with
* PRAGMA synchronous = OFF: single inserts are now in the 2ms range!
* PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL : inserts are 140 ms range
* PRAGMA synchronous= FULL : inserts are in the 200ms range

Hi,
I'm new to the list and to SQLITE. I am using it as a backend for a
gui program I'm working on.
However, I am measuring a single trivial insert using the C
sqlite3_exec as taking 190-200ms. I am not interested in bulk
transactions. Using a prepared insert doesn't seem to reduce the
time very much (to possibly 170ish ms). Select statements are nice
and fast taking less than 1ms.
So my question is if this ~200ms range for single-inserts to be
expected? I am using sqlite 3.3.9 (and 3.3.8) on a 2.16 Intel Core
2 duo OSX build.
If this is to be expected, how do you make it more responsive? I'd
like the user to be able to press a button to get an insert and have
no noticeable delay (maybe 50ms?)
That seems a bit long, though if it's flushing the data to disk and
ensuring
that it's written before returning, it's probably not unreasonable.
I would be
really surprised if any user would be able to see any difference
between
50ms and 150ms when it's a single event. Human reaction time is
generally
somewhere about 100ms I thought.
