Many people fail to take into account that the real key to speed is not what tricks a compiler can perform while translating code from source to object form, but what algorithms are used in the source code. A highly optimizing slow algorithm is rarely if ever going to outperform a better algorithm. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
