[E-devel] Re: Wiki

[Michael H. <ma...@co...>]

There certainly needs to be something to collect documentation since the 
only site which was trying to do it seems to have disappeared!  Since 
proper documentation is not likely to happen any time soon, a Wiki to 
collect informal notes from users and developers might be the next best 
thing.

I have been having sooo much fun trying to figure out how menus are 
formatted in E16...

FWIW, I ran some performance tests on MySQL while working on a 
professional project and the results were fairly impressive.  With a 
modest DB, you can do a query followed by an update about 20,000 times 
per second on a 2 GHz Xeon with 1 GB RAM and a single ATA/IDE disk.  It 
is the C API which is a PITA and somewhat clunky.  If you insist on 
reading out the data after the query, it slows the process by a factor 
of 10.
