Re: slowing down too fast - why ?

I've even launched the backend with "-F" and removed BEGIN/COMMIT and
LOCK TABLE and FOR UPDATE, but I still get slow response.

only when count(*) from file is 16000, I get about 2-3 rows / second on
average. When count(*) from file was 100, I get about 20-30 rows / second.

Help !

Thanx,

John
