Faster Server Shutdown with Large Memory Allocations

The c-treeACE database engine normally frees associated memory (data and index caches) when shutting down if all clients have disconnected. However, it was discovered that freeing this memory can take a long time when using very large data and index caches due to the overhead of returning the allocated memory blocks to the process heap. When the c-treeACE process is about to exit, returning the memory to the process heap is not necessary. This housekeeping activity is now skipped when shutting down to avoid observed delays.
