I think that's a great idea. After three years, I still haven't got
around to tune my pg installation. But for my rather smallish dataset
(~4MB), it runs okay right out of the box on a 3GHz prescott with 1 GB
RAM. And for somewhat complex queries, it actually runs faster than a
denormalized mirror database running on MySQL with MyISAM.
