<p><b>Performance Enhancements:</b>
<li>Dozens of micro-optimizations result in 6.7% fewer CPU cycles needed
    to do the same amount work.  (Measured using 
    [http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/cg-manual.html|cachegrind] on the
    [http://www.sqlite.org/src/artifact/83f6b3318f7ee|speedtest1.c] workload on
    Ubuntu 10.13 x64 with gcc 4.8.1 and -Os. Your performance may vary.)
<li>Added the ability for the sorter to start and use auxiliary helper threads in order
    to increase real-time response.  This feature is off by default and may be
    enabled using the [PRAGMA threads] command or the [SQLITE_DEFAULT_WORKER_THREADS]
    compile-time option.
<li>Enhance the [skip-scan] optimization so that it is able to skip index terms that
    occur in the middle of the index, not just as the left-hand side of the index.
<li>The query planner is now able to do a better job of understanding constants that
    happy to occur inside of [CAST] operators.
<p><b>Bug Fixes:</b>
<li>Fix a bug in the [partial index] implementation that might result in an incorrect
    answer if a partial index is used in a subquery or in a [view].

COMPILE_OPTION {SQLITE_DEFAULT_WAL_AUTOCHECKPOINT=<i>&lt;pages&gt;</i>} {
  This macro sets the default page count for the [WAL]
  [checkpointing | automatic checkpointing] feature.  If unspecified,
  the default page count is 1000.
}

COMPILE_OPTION {SQLITE_DEFAULT_WORKER_THREADS=<i>N</i>} {
  This macro determins the default vallue for
  the [SQLITE_LIMIT_WORKER_THREADS] parameter.  The [SQLITE_LIMIT_WORKER_THREADS]
  parameter determines the maximum number of auxiliary threads that a single
  [prepared statement] will launch to assist it with a query.  If not specified,
  the default maximum is 0.
  The value set here cannot be more then [SQLITE_MAX_WORKER_THREADS].
}

COMPILE_OPTION {SQLITE_FTS3_MAX_EXPR_DEPTH=<i>N</i>} {
  This macro sets the maximum depth of the search tree that corresponds to
  the right-hand side of the MATCH operator in an [FTS3] or [FTS4] full-text
  index.  The full-text search uses a recursive algorithm, so the depth of
  the tree is limited to prevent using too much stack space.  The default
  limit is 12.  This limit is sufficient for up to 4095 search terms on the

  in that if one thread is constantly changing the schema, another thread
  might spin on reparses and repreparations of a prepared statement and
  never get any real work done.  This parameter prevents an infinite loop
  by forcing the spinning thread to give up after a fixed number of attempts
  at recompiling the prepared statement.  The default setting is 50 which is
  more than adequate for most applications.
}

COMPILE_OPTION {SQLITE_MAX_WORKER_THREADS=<i>N</i>} {
  Set an upper bound on the [sqlite3_limit](db,[SQLITE_LIMIT_WORKER_THREADS],N)
  setting that determines the maximum number of auxiliary threads that a single
  [prepared statement] will use to aid with CPU-intensive computations
  (mostly sorting).  See also the [SQLITE_DEFAULT_WORKER_THREADS] options.
}

COMPILE_OPTION {SQLITE_MINIMUM_FILE_DESCRIPTOR=<i>N</i>} {
  The unix [VFS] will never use a file descriptor less than <i>N</i>.  The
  default value of <i>N</i> is 3.
  <p>
  Avoiding the use of low-numbered file descriptors is a defense against
  accidental database corruption.  If a database file was opened using

    <p>The default directory for temporary files depends on the OS.  Some
    OS interfaces may choose to ignore this variable and place temporary
    files in some other directory different from the directory specified
    here.  In that sense, this pragma is only advisory.</p>

LegacyPragma data_store_directory {
    <p><b>PRAGMA data_store_directory;

Pragma threads {
    <p><b>PRAGMA threads;
       <br>PRAGMA threads = </b><i>N</i><b>;</b></p>
    <p>Query or change the value of the 
    [sqlite3_limit](db,[SQLITE_LIMIT_WORKER_THREADS],...) limit for
    the current database connection.  This limit sets an upper bound
    on the number of auxiliary threads that a [prepared statement] is
    allowed to launch to assist with a query.  The default limit is 0
    unless it is changed using the [SQLITE_DEFAULT_WORKER_THREADS]
    compile-time option.  When the limit is zero, that means no
    auxiliary threads will be launched.</p>

    <p>This pragma is a thin wrapper around the
    [sqlite3_limit](db,[SQLITE_LIMIT_WORKER_THREADS],...) interface.
