+ <question>Why is jackcess so slow for large updates?</question>
+ <answer>
+ <p>
+ While there is much room for improvement in update speed, one factor
+ is whether or not all writes are automatically forced to disk. By
+ default, "autoSync" is enabled, which keeps the database file in a
+ more consistent state, but can be very slow for large updates.
+ Disabling "autoSync" can dramatically increase update speed, but
+ exceptions during update can leave the file in an unusable state.
+ So, modifying this option essentially trades off speed for
+ recoverability.
