[Opensim-users] bin/OpenSim.db-journal file begin written and deleted many times

[Ai Austin]

As I shutdown a region simulator, I see a lot of flashing of an open 
window showing the directory listing for the bin directory.

This seems to indicate that a 5K file called "OpenSim.db-journal" is 
being created and immediately deleted a LOT of times as the 
OpenSim.db file (for SQLIte data base) is changed. At least that's 
what I assume is happening.  A translate scene command on a region 
with only 600 objects seemed to take nearly half an hour to complete 
on an otherwise unloaded region yesterday for example, and this 
flashing wad happening throughout until the system finished its "shutdown".

This seems to be enabled  by the default level of debugging and I 
wonder if this could this be a source of a slow down in using OpenSim?

Can anyone shed light on what is happening here and if the default 
logging might itself be a cause of why such operations take such a log time?
