Tony, I'm seeing poor performance on both the client and server with build 69 compared to build 68 and tracked it down to the FlushFileBuffers call in win32.c:wnt_fclose. Was this for AtomicCommits support? Perhaps if (atomic_commits) { FlushFileBuffers((HANDLE)_get_osfhandle(file->_file)); } would be ok? Thanks, John Goehringer
