Re: Why is rootdbs busy?
While I approve of the DD_HASHSIZE, I'm not so sure about HASHMAX. That limits the dictionary hash chains to only four entries. While that might be OK, it can also indicate a pontential for thrashing. Basically if there are four entries and a table is no longer referenced, the…
