## Performance
rqlite replicates SQLite for fault-tolerance. It does not replicate it for performance. In fact performance is reduced somewhat due to the network round-trips.
Depending on your machine and network, individual INSERT performance could be anything from 10 operations per second to more than 100 operations per second. However, by using the [bulk API](https://github.com/rqlite/rqlite/blob/master/DOC/BULK.md), transactions, or both, throughput will increase significantly, often by 2 orders of magnitude. This speed-up is due to the way SQLite works. So for high throughput, execute as many operations as possible within a single transaction.

### In-memory databases
By default rqlite uses an [in-memory SQLite database](https://www.sqlite.org/inmemorydb.html) to maximise performance. In this mode no actual SQLite file is created and the entire database is stored in memory. If you wish rqlite to use an actual file-based SQLite database, pass `-on-disk` to rqlite on start-up.
