Sadly, when I go to the second set of tests (20,000 files and
50,000 transactions), my performance goes into the crapper. I know
that softupdates trades memory for speed, and I guess this PPro 200
w/ 128MB RAM just doesn't have enough memory to keep up.
For this stage, I now get:
Transactions per second: 33
KBytes Read per second: 79.66
KBytes Written per second: 144.31
The third stage of testing (20,000 files and 100,000 transactions
is now underway.
