Richard probably has a better memory than me but I seem to recall that
WAL
was a pretty serious speed improvement for the local host case.  Did you
benchmark the impact this change has?

Unfortunately, I didn't do any benchmark.

The problem with WAL is the following "All processes using a database
must be on the same host computer; WAL does not work over a network
filesystem." Using WAL, all PR values get lost after a PR server reboot,
so we need a rollback journal. According to the documentation, the
fastest of the these is "MEMORY" but it has its pros/cons:

"The MEMORY journaling mode stores the rollback journal in volatile RAM.
This saves disk I/O but at the expense of database safety and integrity.
If the application using SQLite crashes in the middle of a transaction
when the MEMORY journaling mode is set, then the database file will very
likely go corrupt."


Ross: ignore my comment. The limitation "all process using a database must be on the same host" is not a limitation for us, because the PRserver is the only one talking to the database and this daemon/process is at the same place as the DB. So the root reason why WAL is not working is still unknown. Sending a V2 soon.
