[fossil-users] Scalability, a single file commit and lots of disk reads

[Mike Buckler]

I have noticed that fossil reads the entire database file (in 1024 byte 
increments) several times during the commit process, even when 
committing a single file locally with no remote server.
While this doesn't matter for small repos (<10 MB),  my test repo at 40 
MB is border line unusable even when run from a fast solid state disk.
The physical directory structure has 5000 files totaling 270MB, but I 
don't see any evidence of that being read by the fossil.exe process, 
except for the particular file being checked in.
Is this behavior by design?

Mike
