  2006-09-08: It appears that if you're doing a small number of transactions, that  in-memory vs. on-disk doesn't make much difference.  I have 138000 rows to insert, and as long as I do them all inside of one transaction, the run time is pretty much the same.  However, if I don't use any transactions and just do a bunch of inserts, then the on-disk db is horribly slow compared to memory.  Check out the note about transactions in PerformanceTuning.
  
+ 2006-10-31: That's all quite relative to disk speed. For example, I'm writing an app that runs off of flash memory and the difference in speed is quite noticeable even with a single insert.
