> Which file based database system is faster than mysql? I tried Berkeley > db3 (although with transaction code) and it was horrible slow! old one is fast. hmm i thought the new one was db2, uh, some glitch in my memory files. I've seen benchmarks comparing various db-databases (gdbm, ndbm etc) and there were some interesting thoughts about them, benchmarks were pre-new berkeley db. as far as I remeber ndbm provided best speed. It's widely known fact that new berkeley is slow and overloaded with features, I think there are some notices in db-based apps documentation ( htdig, i think ) Being realy paranoid about speed you could try cdb thing (constant) which need to be recreated every time you change anything there.
