(If it is > you have a serious shortage of hardware ...) There's no sleeping but there is some client-side processing between groups of i/u/d operations. As I mentioned in another message, the application reads a chunk of data from a stream, does a few i/u/d operations to update the database, and repeats several thousand times. The hardware is old but it's adequate for this application. What kind of overhead would you expect? -- Michael Fuhr
