But we need info on real world performance of >applications using Standard Engine. Prefereably 7.2+ of SE. I had experiences with an older version of SE before we moved to IDS. It was very solid, but would tend to require a faster system then IDS does for the same number of users & transaction work. I think just the reduction in I/O overhead from VARCHAR's and raw disk I/O alone make IDS pay for itself (we have some tables with LOTS of VARCHAR's that are only 10%-15% full - really cut down on I/O and increases cache hit rate!).
