Hi Kem,

But question is:

1) ho many tables/fields/indexes do you have ?
    if you have a lots - then just set cache to 10MB

100MB cache this is too many I think.
10-20MB will work good for 99% of cases.

No this is not enough of course.
Because as you know hundreds developers use it without such problem.

I think secret is somehow in your tables and fields.

So we need to get at least your compiled application,
And steps to add that 66 record or 1900 records.

I prefer test on 3MB cache and amount of record enough to get problem.
Send all this to us please
