<p class="MsoNormal"><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">J-ISIS Import performance has been drastically
improved</span></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif">. Time elapsed to import is much more less than before, it takes about 1
millisecond to import a record on a computer with an Intel Core 2 CPU and 4GB
of RAM. The bottleneck was in writing records to the Berkeley DB database. By
default, <span style="color:black">Berkeley DB will use high levels of
synchronization which offer a greater guarantee that the transaction is
persistent to disk, but trade that off for lower performance. While it is
acceptable when doing record editing, updating, and saving; the trade off for
lower performance when doing bulk insert and writing of records is not
acceptable. Thus synchronously flush of the log on transaction commit for
writing is now disabled when importing. That is, database integrity will be
maintained, but if the application or system fails, it is possible some number
of the most recently committed transactions may be undone during recovery. </span> Import is now very fast, it takes about 20
seconds to import 20 000 records and near 20 minutes to import 2 million
records.</span></p>
