databases and cpu speed

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

greetings again,

Has anyone run a database engine on one puter, and transfered it over to a
faster
puter, and found a noticeable difference in access times? Has the speed increase
been due to faster cpu or faster harddrives? Do you have benchmark times? And
most
importantly, was the database written in Eu (compiled or interpretted?), and was
it
doing any string manipulation like searching or find()s in the data before
returning it?

My fastest puters are 266Mhz and 300Mhz, but there are now surplus 600Mhz puters
on sale for $300......

Kat
