STMTJRNL_SPILL

The SQLITE_CONFIG_STMTJRNL_SPILL option takes a single parameter which becomes the statement journal spill-to-disk threshold. Statement journals are held in memory until their size (in bytes) exceeds this threshold, at which point they are written to disk. Or if the threshold is -1, statement journals are always held exclusively in memory. Since many statement journals never become large, setting the spill threshold to a value such as 64KiB can greatly reduce the amount of I/O required to support statement rollback. The default value for this setting is controlled by the SQLITE_STMTJRNL_SPILL compile-time option.
