Thanks, but I know why it's slow.  :-)  Disk I/O vs. memory.  

To ensure test isolation, my unit tests drop and recreate the database
to a consistent state between each test.  Sure I could rollback
transactions (which is a questionable test) or manually undo each test
consequence (which is work). This is so much easier.  :-)

As far as I can see, Derby doesn't have an in-memory mode (i.e. no
disk involved).

I'm sure Derby performs quite well under normal use.

Cheers,
Clinton
