We need to keep an eye on what's different.<br/><br/>On Windows at least, it creates six __db.001 - __db.006 files with sizes from 24K to 4MB. It doesn't delete them on exit, it just leaves them behind.<br/><br/>The docs say it uses memory mapped files. I assume they have the same file permissions as the database files, so the same user access restrictions apply.<br/><br/>Tests on Windows private LAN download of 78500 blocks:<br/>with DB_PRIVATE 20 minutes 51 seconds<br/>without DB_PRIVATE 20 minutes 51 seconds<br/><br/>I wasn't expecting them to come out exactly the same.</div>"
