Subject: [exim] [follow-up?] Re: Performance of MySQL vs text files.
i though this was going to be a bit easier ...

i'm interested in benchmarked performance of flatfile vs
cdb/sqlite/mysql lookup performance.

i _know_ that there are differences, but how significant? the
frequent advice is for "short lists" use flat-file, and as the lists
get longer, move to sql etc etc.

what's the rule-of-thumb for a list being "long"?

i found this list-thread commented by Nigel M., but no follow up (yet):

any further thoughts or references?

thanks.
