Thanks for everyone's help and thoughts on this issue. My findings on Windows 7 Pro 64 using a PCI based SSD is that for my smallish image the BLOBs were faster than individual files. Basically, in line with a table that someone posted earlier in this thread.
After many experiments, with many variations on grouping writes into transactions, the single writer proves to be the most limiting factor. _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
