[erlang-questions] My frustration with Erlang

[Rapsey]

How many mnesia transactions do you have left? From what I tested,
transactions are slow as hell. I'm sure you would get much better
performance, if a gen_server was in charge of a table and all queries were
dirty and went through that process. Unless you need transactions for more
than just thread safety. Then this method won't work of course.
