LPP> BDB is the fastest backend currently available. Postmodern LPP> is about half as fast
a little clarification -- it is not like there is a constant slowness factor. PostgreSQL storage itself is pretty fast , and probably in some aspects it is even better than BDB storage. but there is pretty high communication overhead associated with each operation, so often postmodern is a lot slower than bdb. also storage was modelled after BDB API, and thus it is pretty hard to implement same semantics on top of SQL database, so some stuff is implemented in very inefficient manner. _______________________________________________ elephant-devel site list elephant-devel@common-lisp.net http://common-lisp.net/mailman/listinfo/elephant-devel
