Hello,

in FAQ http://www.sqlite.org/faq.html :

"Actually, SQLite will easily do 50,000 or more INSERT statements per second on 
an average desktop computer. But it will only do a few dozen transactions per 
second. Transaction speed is limited by the rotational speed of your disk 
drive. A transaction normally requires two complete rotations of the disk 
platter, which on a 7200RPM disk drive limits you to about 60 transactions per 
second."

When a transaction only *reads* finally, as below, will it need to do two 
complete rotations of the disk platter, as described above?


- begin transaction
- select....
- select...
- end transaction


thank you,
olivier
