Your filesystem and your disk hardware work the same way. Your application might only ask for 10 bytes, but the underlying OS and hardware are pulling a complete sector (or perhaps a complete track) from disk, pass the 10 bytes you asked for off to your app, and holding the rest in cache. So, no, you cannot improve performance by only reading a few bytes here and a few bytes there. The disk has to work just as hard. -- D. Richard Hipp drh at sqlite.org
