If you're spooling data then attributes will spool as well. However I
believe that Marek is referring to the sometimes LONG delay to release
FD/SD after attribute despooling has finished that occurs while database
inserts take place.

I agree with the OP that once the job has finished the FD and SD should be
released while database (batch) inserts are done, in order to allow other
jobs to proceed.

Marek: make sure you tune your database for performance. The default mysql
configuration is quite slow and setup for machines with very little
memory by current standards.
