This largely is the fault of "fsync". It tends to be extremely slow on many platforms. There was an interesting poll for "fsync" timings in this mailing list (about 1 year or so ago). The ZODB uses "fsync" once per transaction. Apparently, many relational databases do it less often and therefore achieve a much higher transaction rate. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
