I am doing an insert of few bytes, so that the amount of data does not
significantly affect the measured time. And for measuring time without
cache, I temporarily switched it off.

That was the code used (nothing unusual):

#include "timeval.h"

main()
{
Timeval start,end;
EXEC SQL WHENEVER sqlerror sqlprint;
EXEC SQL WHENEVER not found sqlprint;

EXEC SQL CONNECT TO user(at)localhost;
start=Timeval::Time();
EXEC SQL BEGIN;
EXEC SQL INSERT INTO test values ('qwertz');
EXEC SQL COMMIT;
end=Timeval::Time();
end-=start;
printf("time: %d.%06d\n",end.tv_sec,end.tv_usec);
}
