Karen,
We use CC for a long time and our opinion here is the overhead caused by
CC is justified by the advanteges of CC.
To your question - under CC the transaction is written first to a
temporary place on the disk, then to the journal and only at last to the
DB files. The temporary space on the disk assumed to be placed on a fast
disk, meanning the system disk.
The reason of the sequence is that in case your job fails befor the end
of commit cycle (COMMIT command) entire transaction or the part already
written is ROLLBACKed.
