It probably only meets those two criteria, but I feel the database
structure is pretty sound (but I'm biased) I use views to denormalize
(rather than make the Perl ugly). It's a monitoring app that generates
graphs (similar to MRTG), and 24 hours worth of data (144 samples) gets
selected and graphed in approximately a quarter second (when vacuuming
is done properly), even with 8 million+ rows.

The code is a pre-release, with a full version out in a few days, but
the db is sound. I'm open to suggestions. ;)
