[Exist-open] Performance with external databases

[Morgan K. <mor...@ta...>]

Hi, I never saw this mentioned anywhere...

How is performance/memory usage affected by using an external database?

On my pentium 130mhz server with 70megs of ram I'm getting a whole lot 
of thrashing, from the Java memory hit I assume. Would using a non-Java 
backend help me out? Or does the native database not add much of a hit?

Thanks,
Chris
