You are absolutely right. With data=writeback the hangs completely
disappear, and sqlite3 insert performance increases 10x fold.
Now data=writeback is known to be faster than data=ordered, but a 10x fold
increase probably points to some sync contention within the data=ordered
logic. Any ideas how this could be fixed?
Thanks a lot!
