// delete from index_with

// vacuum

// vacuum analyze

timeAnalyzer.startClock();

for ( int i = 0; i < nrIterations; i++) {

sprintf(sqlStatement, "INSERT INTO index_with (name) VALUES ('%s')", data[i]);

try {

db->runCommand(sqlStatement);

}
catch(Exception e) {

cout << "Exception caught: " << e.getException() << endl;

}

}

timeAnalyzer.stopClock();

// output

data[i] is data created with 'pwgen 8 100000 > data'

Then anotherone but index_without instead.

Could it be that the 10000 rows in the table makes it so much slower so that
the next 10000 in the same database but different table get so much slower?
