Perhaps not dramatic no, but I was getting to the point where I am setting DB page sizes to match OS Cluster sizes to get any drop of speed out Maybe what I was saying could have been better phrased, I wasn't attacking components directly, but really pointing out that for EVERY drop in speed, you could do well looking at sending well phrased SQL directly to the DB and accessing the returned pointers yourself or with a basic wrapper Components are definitely with their uses, though I am biased for the argument that if you don't REALLY know how it works at least at a reasonable low level, you may not be getting the most you can And transactions BOY HARDY there is something, never thought to mention them though since I felt it was kinda a "given" :) And as you said, its fun :)
