[Kopete] Statistics module generates I/O

Beginner

Hi,
I just noticed that with the statistics module turned on, Kopete takes much longer to start and quit than without it. According to strace, it generates lots of I/O on the file ~/.kde3.5/share/apps/kopete/kopete_statistics-0.1.db. Although the file is only 3 MB, that usually takes more than ten seconds. Since I'm not going to use the statistics module any more, that doesn't really matter to me, but I'd like to know whether it may be a bug (or rather a bad algorithm) because I would submit it to the bug database in that case.
Thanks,
Max

Please submit a bug to Bugzilla.

However my statistics are about 4,2 MB, I don't really notice it's really slow. Or maybe I just don't know any better.

It doesn't seem to be considered a bug. Sorry to have taken up your time, I should have looked in the database earlier.

the statistics use sqlite as a database backend. As you collect statistics over a large period of time, the size of the database will grow. As the size of the database grows, the amount of IO needed to load the database will grow. Sqlite must be slower than we thought. We've delayed the loading of the database a bit, so starting kopete should be faster with 0.12, but we'll need to use a different solution in the future, i think.
