Update the README FAQ section adding one issues more to the list of the
issues related with the concurrent reads and writes. This new added
issues gives a lot of insights, much more than the ones which where
already present.
For a Go-only project the following code pattern
go func() {
select {
case <-ctx.Done():
// call some cancel
case <-done:
// work finished ok
}
}()
// do some work
close(done)
works good and fast - without high scheduling overhead because scheduler
usually puts spawned goroutine into run queue on the same OS thread and so
after done is closed control is passed to spawned goroutine without OS context
switch.
However in the presence of Cgo calls in "do some work" the situation can
become different - Cgo calls are treated by go runtime similarly to
system calls with the effect that goroutines spawned on original OS
thread tend to be migrated by scheduler to be executed on another OS
thread.
This in turn can bring high overhead for communicating on "done", which
ultimately can result in full context switch: if the spawned goroutine
had chance to run, already checked done and ctx to be not ready, and went
into sleep via wait on futex - showing as something like below in strace for
one read query (note futex calls):

Below link shows that go scheduler itself might be significantly improved for
cases when there are several Cgo calls made for a request in a server:
https://github.com/golang/go/issues/21827#issuecomment-329092317
in particular CGo-4 case should be closely related to this sqlite3 go package,
because for one query many CGo calls are made to SQLite.
However until there are proper scheduler fixes, let's make what could
be made to improve time to do queries:
If we know that the context under which a query is executed will never
be canceled - we know we can safely skip spawning the interrupt
goroutine and this was avoid ping-pong on done in between different OS
threads.
This brings the following speedup on my notebook with go1.10:
