Thanks Nick, good point. ahh yes, I've read about this somewhere...
My extension is currently ".db", a quick check indicates that using ".abc" gives a slight speed improvement, maybe 10%. But that is allready very close to the variation I get between different test runs, so I'm not really sure if I have this "microsoft effect" here. Anyway, thanks for the reminder. Well, I think now there is nothing wrong here, it is just as it is... Currently I achieve about 10 transactions/second, maybe not that bad... still slower than the "few dozen" that are mentioned on the www pages, but I agree that there too many issues that may affect the disk speed.
