That was my point in the beginning. Then: I want to see sqlite3 being less efficient on insert and fetch or memory consumption. I can not imagine it (prove me wrong! ;)). Last but not least i don't think any user would even notice any difference in behaviour. I think the low end would be PIII 700 (SMT7020s/S100) or ARMv5(sheeva/dockstar) recently. Anyway not feeling like fighting right now. _______________________________________________ vdr mailing list vdr@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.linuxtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/vdr
