I have being able to run the same test on the deployment server, that
is running on a Solaris zone c/o Joyent, and the issue is much
smaller:
[15:21:12] DELETE FROM clipperz.RCRVRS WHERE ID_RCRVRS = ?
[15:21:12] [batch bind: 1433]
[15:21:12] [batch bind: 797]
[....]
[15:21:12] [batch bind: 55637]
[15:21:12] [batch bind: 51363]
[15:21:27] === updated 182 rows.
So, to delete 182 rows it took about 15 seconds. I was a little
skeptical, but it really seems that even with such a small operations,
running from inside a virtual machine can make a huge difference for
the DB engine.
15 seconds are a lot of time, but they would be bearable. The problem
is that I suppose this time will gradually increase with the growth of
the number of records to delete.
And if I will end-up needing to delete thousands of records, the
outcome will be unbearable.
So I can probably live with this limits for a few more weeks, but I
need to immediately take action to fix the problem definitely.

Where should I start looking to try to integrate the new revision of
Cayenne in my project in order to take advantage of this feature?
Thank you very much for your support.
