Wouldn't disk I/O be equally bad for a database? I assume the database gets cached in memory (as much as possible), but I would think that the file cache would have the same effect.
- ismarc 17y agoThe database can make all the disk I/O operations asynchronous because it provides an interface on top of file system itself. What you had listed would require either your own implementation (which you'd be better off using existing DB/Berkeley DB systems) of similar functionality, or actual disk I/O.
