Yes, that may be realistic as the number of tables in your file is not high (160). My recommendation then is to set `NODE_CACHE_SLOTS` to a negative value (say -512). This way the cache will behave as a dictionary (i.e. you don't need to implement your own), which is the fastest operation mode for the node cache. -- Francesc Alted ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Pytables-users mailing list Pytables-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pytables-users
