There's no sleeping but there is some client-side processing between
groups of i/u/d operations. As I mentioned in another message, the
application reads a chunk of data from a stream, does a few i/u/d
operations to update the database, and repeats several thousand times.
The hardware is old but it's adequate for this application. What
kind of overhead would you expect?
