LiveCode and SQLite performace

[Mike Kerner]

As long as we're on this topic, I can't get over how much faster my POC
MacBook Air is than my not-so POC Mac Mini.  The former has an ssd, the
latter, a regular HD.  The former has a 1.4 ghz i5 with 4GB RAM, and the
latter a 2.3 ghz i5 with 16 GB RAM.  That SSD makes the air scream.

-- 
On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
