Can anyone from Access/PalmSource and/or Palm Inc. comment on these NVFS
quicksort performance results? Is this problem going to be fixed in the
next NVFS revision, are there suggestions to improve sorting performance
other than "use less records", etc.?
Ben Combee? Greg Wilson?
I don't know specifically about this, but I doubt there will be NVFS
changes in the near future or in patches released for existing devices
that would affect this behavior. I think this came on in 5.4.9 which
moved to a newer NVFS implementation that's more stable and does
MemHandle-based locking instead of DmRecord-based locking. It looks
like QuickSort is hitting some bad DBCache behavior since it tends to
open records in a much-less ordered way.
