Thanks for the response. Actually, my app is "enlightened" in that it is written to access databases directly off a memory card, and by managing the internals of the PDB file directly with VFS instead of using those really lame and slow VFS-DB calls. I even implemented my own cache control so that repeated reads from the same DB record do not require another memory-card read. The app is only slightly slower when reading from an SD card than when the database is in main memory. I did this precisely because many customers have large databases that will not fit in main memory, especially on old 8Mb devices, etc. -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
